When free help runs out of scope
Volunteer sites decline returns beyond their certification level, and Free File partners limit eligibility by income and sometimes by form. Equity compensation, self-employment, rental property, a large capital sale, income sourced to more than one state, or an open IRS notice regularly fall outside those limits.
The constraint is the complexity of the return, not the metro you file from.
