IRS Launches Free 'Direct File' Service for 2024 Tax Filing
The IRS has launched a new government-run website called Direct File for free tax filing, available to users in 12 states for the rest of this year's tax season. Taxpayers in participating states with simple taxes can create an account and file their taxes anytime, with some exclusions for this year. The site is a test of the concept of government-run tax filing and will be continuously open, with the possibility of brief closures due to high user traffic.
