What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryIRS expands free tax filing to all states
The bill requires the IRS to keep running its Direct File program, which lets people file federal taxes for free online. Starting after 2025, every state and Washington, D.C. would have to participate, so the program could expand beyond the 25 states currently offering it.
How it affects you
If you qualify and live in a state that joins the program, you could file your federal taxes for free directly through the IRS website instead of paying a tax preparation company. Right now, only people in 25 states have this option, so this bill would make free filing available to more Americans.

This bill requires the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to continue to implement the Direct File program and, for tax years beginning after 2025, requires each U.S. state and the District of Columbia to participate in the Direct File program. (The Direct File program currently allows qualified taxpayers in 25 participating states to prepare and electronically file free federal tax returns through a portal on the IRS’s website.)
