IRS Launches Free Direct File Service For Tax Season - Tech + Tax

IRS Direct File: Experience simplicity, security, and cost-free tax filing with directfile.irs.gov.

Tax season has kicked off and there's already great news for filers. The IRS has introduced a new, free, direct file service, allowing many to file returns online without third-party software. And if you're eager to know when your refund will arrive, the Where's My Refund tool has you covered. Available online and via the IRS to-go app, it updates daily to show your refund status. Remember these key dates: January 31st for W-2 forms, February 18th for withholding exemptions, and April 15th for filing your return. Timely refunds are crucial, especially with the rising costs of essentials like gas and groceries.

Nevertheless, we'll wait and see how this new system turns out. Either way, this shows how more and more industries are incorporating some form of tech into their operations. It's a big step in both the tech and tax industries. This new system could help make filing taxes easier, especially since the service is being offered at no cost.
