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.
