And so, after a successful pilot run, the tax agency has announced that it's making its new free direct file program permanent. The Direct File program first launched in twelve states for the 2023 filing season following a successful pilot. "Since the direct file pilot was completed in April, we have heard directly from hundreds of organizations across the country, more than a hundred members of Congress, from individual direct file users, and those that are interested in using direct file," Werfel said. The new Direct File program has encountered some pushback from paid tax services. Did you use Direct File and save time or money?

☆ TurboTax maker Intuit deceived users with offers of 'free' tax products, FTC judge rules
  + stars: | 2023-09-08 | by ( Chelsey Cox | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: 1 min
WASHINGTON — A Federal Trade Commission judge on Friday issued an initial ruling against Intuit , the maker of the popular tax filing software TurboTax, saying the company deceived consumers with ads for so-called "free" tax products. Intuit violated Section 5 of the FTC Act by promoting "free" tax products and services for which many were ineligible, according to Chief Administrative Law Judge D. Michael Chappell. Intuit will appeal the ruling, said Rick Heineman, a spokesperson for the company. "It's no surprise that a case the FTC brought before itself, argued with FTC-employed lawyers, all before an FTC-employed judge got a ruling in favor of the FTC," Heineman said. "You can't make this stuff up — it's a flawed system and a groundless ruling."

☆ TurboTax has lobbied against a free tax filing system for decades. Its head says the US' path toward one is 'unquestionably a conflict of interest.'

The Inflation Reduction Act passed last summer allots funds to explore a free federal tax filing service. The head of TurboTax's parent company says that a government-run tax filing service would be unethical. Intuit, a global financial technology platform, owns TurboTax, one of the leading paid tax filing services. In the US, tax filing services like TurboTax and H&R Block spend millions of dollars lobbying against free tax filing services. Commercial providers such as TurboTax and Tax Act offer their own free services for those earning under a certain amount.
