If you have a filing requirement, you must file a Montana individual income tax return.

We try to make it as easy as possible for you to file by providing multiple options. You can file using the option best for you.

We have several options for e-filing:

Free File Alliance Partners

The Free File Alliance software vendors provide free filing options for qualified taxpayers.

Learn more about the available offers on our Free File Alliance Partners page.

Montana Free File

MontanaFreeFile.org lists tax assistance resources in Montana and will direct you to filing your return for free.

Montana Elderly Homeowner/Renter Credit (Form 2EC)

If you are only filing the Montana Elderly Homeowner/Renter Credit (Form 2EC) without filing a return, you may file using our TransAction Portal.

Other Software

If you do not qualify for one of our Free File Alliance Partner Offers, you may file using Approved Individual Income Tax Software.

These vendors may charge a fee for filing federal, state, or both.

We provide downloadable, fillable, and printable versions of most of our forms in My Revenue.

We provide three post-office boxes for mailing in returns based on your refund and payment status.

You can get help with your taxes from a qualified tax professional.

The IRS provides excellent resources for finding the best tax professional to help you.

MontanaFreeFile.org also provides a list of local free tax resources, including volunteers and tax professionals.
