The IRS will test a free tax-filing system in 13 states early next year, with hundreds of thousands of taxpayers expected to participate. The agency aims to save Americans money, as they currently spend about $11 billion annually on tax-preparation services. The first states to roll out the IRS' direct-filing platform are Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and New York, while residents in nine other states without income tax may also be eligible. The program is part of the Inflation Reduction Act and will be rolled out incrementally. The IRS plans to work with various organizations to identify eligible taxpayers based on their income, tax credits, and deductions.

Russian authorities have approved a bill that will allow conscripts and reservists to be served with a draft summons electronically, making it almost impossible to dodge. The new system will collect personal data from the tax office, several government ministries and other Russian authorities, and once the summons is uploaded, the draftee is considered to have been “served”. Those who fail to show up will be banned from leaving Russia and will no longer be able to take out loans, register property or work as entrepreneurs. The electronic system is an upgrade of an outdated system and is not currently planning another mobilisation drive.
