Hello!
Tax season is ending soon and IRS Direct File is open and ready to use!
directfile.irs.gov
President Biden and Congressional Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act is lowering costs for consumers and creating a fairer tax system that holds ultra-wealthy tax cheats accountable and improves services for everyday taxpayers.
The Direct File program is one of those services. Direct File is a historic new tool from the IRS that helps taxpayers avoid expensive tax filing services and e-file their federal taxes directly with the IRS online for free. It’s available in English and Spanish; works on mobile devices, tablets, and personal computers; and includes dedicated support from IRS customer service specialists. Right now, it's operating as a pilot program—but it is available for Californians and taxpayers in 11 other states.
Examples of taxpayers who may be eligible to use Direct File this filing season include:
- A parent with W-2 income that claims the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit
- A recent graduate with W-2 income, who pays student loan interest
- A retired senior citizen with Social Security income
As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, which oversees the IRS, I believe IRS Direct File is an exciting new tool that can make the tax filing process simpler and easier for so many people. I urge all eligible Californians to explore if Direct File is right for you so you can take advantage of the program’s free, simple, and secure way to file your taxes this filing season.
Visit directfile.irs.gov to find out if you’re eligible and get started today.
