The IRS said Thursday it will make permanent the free electronic tax return filing system that it experimented with this year and is asking all 50 states and the District of Columbia to help taxpayers file their returns through the program in 2025.
The IRS tried the Direct File project for the 2024 tax season on a limited basis in 12 states for people with very simple W-2s, the employee’s wage and tax statement.
The agency also is inviting all states with a state income tax to sign up and help people file their state returns for free. During the 2024 pilot, tax agencies in Arizona, Massachusetts, California and New York helped people directly file their state taxes.
Can’t wait for the governor of my state to vilify this as socialism and block it for her constituents because it might benefit even a single poor person.
iowa? Sounds like reynolds.
I was going to guess Iowa. Reynolds doesn’t get the notoriety she deserves. I’m glad I wasn’t the first to guess her.
It still blows my mind how she could defend turning down federal funding for free lunches for school children. Like, the federal dollars were already allocated, turning it down does nothing but route that money elsewhere for the same purpose, why not help starving children in your state?!
Gotta punish women for having sex and make sure your billionaire buddies have an uneducated cheap labor pool to hire at minimum wage
I’m realizing I should have actually named and shamed her directly now, but I’m glad (and sad) that it wasn’t too difficult to figure it out.
Kim Reynolds is a bright red boil on the cancerous tumor that is the Iowa Republican party.
Bingo!
Don’t worry. My dumbass governor will probably say it benefits illegal immigrants somehow, so should be banned.
