Free IRS tax filing nationwide

This bill would require Treasury to keep the IRS Direct File system running and free. Starting with tax years that begin after December 31, 2025, all 50 states and DC would have to participate. If enacted, many taxpayers, including workers and the self-employed, could file taxes in a free, government-run system. This could cut software costs and reduce the need to pay preparers.
