Beyer and lawmakers introduce the Direct File Act to reinstate free online tax filing for Americans.
Quiver AI Summary
Introduction of Direct File Act: U.S. lawmakers, including Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden, have introduced the Direct File Act aimed at reinstating and making permanent the IRS's Direct File program. This initiative targets simplifying the tax filing process for American taxpayers, which had been initiated in 2024 but was discontinued under the Trump administration.
Legislation Goals and Support: The legislation, backed by over 150 co-sponsors, seeks to ensure that taxpayers can file their taxes online for free, potentially saving families significant time and money. Proponents argue that tax preparation companies lobbied against the program, leading to its cancellation. The bill aims to re-establish this direct filing method to alleviate burdens on taxpayers.
Legislators' Statements: Lawmakers emphasized the necessity of the Direct File program. Senator Warren stated, “It’s a no-brainer,” asserting that the program would reduce costs. Similarly, Rep. Sherman remarked that the act offers a cost-effective solution for families. The proposed bill also incorporates measures to improve integration with state tax systems and enhance fraud prevention.
