“Direct File marks the first time you can electronically file a tax return directly with the IRS,” IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel said. “And you can’t beat the price — its free.”
Considering only 2% of Americans used this option previously, I'm just doing my part (as a hunter) to help promote awareness of this pilot!
This would be great if all the numbers were pre-populated based on one's 1099 and W2 so one only needs to review and approve. I can't try it out because of my state isn't approved and my tax situation is more complex.
I think it's awesome that Product Hunt has the IRS posting here. That says to me that our government is finally evolving with technology instead of sticking its head in the sand. Kudos, IRS - this is the community where you will find innovators who can improve your systems with feedback and new ideas.
Scary to see an IRS product on here. Haha 😄
It’s crucial that the tax code and filling process be simplified and streamlined so I really want this to work.
Glad to try it and do my part!
