IRS to roll out free tax filing program in 12 states: How it works
SUMMARY: The IRS is introducing its pilot program called Direct File for free tax filing in 2024. The program will offer step-by-step guidance and real-time support for eligible taxpayers in several states. Eligibility for the initial phase will be limited to government employees in 12 participating states, and private sector employees may gain access by March. The program allows for simple federal tax returns but excludes those with itemized deductions, gig or business income, and certain tax credits. It was developed in-house by a team of experts and offers an additional option for tax filing, particularly beneficial for those unhappy with fees charged by tax filing services.
