"IRS Launches Free Direct File Program for Online Tax Filing in California"

The IRS has launched a pilot program called Direct File, allowing eligible users to file their taxes electronically for free, aiming to simplify the process and reduce costs for taxpayers. The program, currently in its pilot phase in 12 states, has faced criticism from private tax preparation companies and challenges related to funding. However, supporters believe it has the potential to revolutionize how Americans file their taxes and could lead to significant savings for individuals.

IRS to Launch Free Online Filing System in 2024.

The IRS will launch a pilot program next year called "Direct File" that will allow a small number of people to electronically file their tax returns directly with the agency, potentially eliminating the need to pay tax prep companies like Intuit and H&R Block. The initiative is part of the administration's push for an overhaul of the agency with an $80 billion cash infusion. However, the tax prep industry is expected to fight the plan, and Republicans are already lining up against it, fearing it could lead to a system where the IRS fills out people's returns for them.
