"IRS Launches Direct File Program for Free Tax Filing in 12 States"
The IRS has launched its free tax filing service, Direct File, in 12 states, allowing taxpayers with simple tax returns to file directly with the IRS. The service, available in English and Spanish, has eligibility restrictions and limitations on income types, but nearly 19 million people in the 12 states may be eligible to use it. The program is a pilot and may expand to more states in the future, with varying state tax options available depending on the state of residence.
