"Free Online Tax Filing Now Available in 12 States: What You Need to Know"
TL;DR Summary
The IRS has officially launched the Direct File pilot in 12 states, allowing eligible taxpayers to file their tax returns online for free directly with the IRS. The pilot, which has received positive early reviews, is open to taxpayers with relatively straightforward tax situations, and users can receive support through a live chat feature. Taxpayers in the pilot states can use Direct File through the April tax deadline, and those with state-income tax will be guided to a state-sponsored tool to complete their state tax return. The IRS encourages eligible taxpayers to try this innovative new option before the April 15 deadline.
