Join the IRS Direct File Pilot | | |
Congressman Eric Swalwell's office announces a new program from the IRS
For years, Americans have voiced their desire for an accessible and direct method to file taxes online – like a free, public version of TurboTax. Democrats listened and included it in our Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law by President Biden in 2022.
The IRS will soon begin testing the Direct File service in 12 states – including California –and are looking for taxpayers to file this year's taxes through their pilot program.
Right now, they're only looking for those with simple W2 tax returns for this testing phase – it's not yet applicable for anyone with business expenses, self-employment income, and itemized deductions.
The IRS expects to launch the service for testing beginning in March. For more information about the pilot go to directfile.irs.gov. You can also reach out to my office by calling (510) 370-3322 if you have any questions or if you feel members of your organization may be interested in participating.
