The US IRS starts testing its free, “mobile friendly” English and Spanish direct e-filing system, with some low- and moderate-income taxpayers in 12 US states
> The direct file pilot will be open to low- and moderate-income taxpayers with simple returns. … X: Daniel Castro / @castrotech : “...the I.R.S. could fill out tax returns with information it already has, like data from W-2 wage statements. For the pilot, however, participants will have to enter their own financial information, the I.R.S. said.” 🙄 https://www.nytimes.com/... @brij : I hope this grows into a full fledged fully-automated tax filing for all I.R.S. to Begin Trial of Its Own Free Tax-Filing System https://www.nytimes.com/... Ashwin Rodrigues / @shwinyo : prepare for the TurboTax account to start posting like it has depression. it's going to ask why you wish it was dead https://www.nytimes.com/...
