The IRS Direct File is a new limited pilot program that will allow a subset of American taxpayers to file their 2023 tax return electronically directly with the IRS! The Direct File pilot is available to eligible taxpayers residing in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. You can even file your state tax forms if you state has an income tax and developed their own system.
The Direct File pilot will allow you to:
- File a 2023 federal tax return – for free – in English or Spanish,
- Add your tax information with step-by-step guidance,
- Connect with real-time online support from IRS customer service representatives,
- Access it from smartphones, laptops, tablets and desktop computers.
The best part, it is free and you do not have to give all your personal financial information to a company just so they can sell you a mortgage or worse, sell your information to someone else. So the IRS is finally getting to the 20th, er 21st Century and providing a way to directly file electronically. I cannot wait until they provide this to all Americans like me. To find out if you are eligible go to the IRS Direct File web site at https://directfile.irs.gov/
Also you may want to sell your Intuit (INTU) and H&R Block (HRB) stocks if you own them.
