IRS direct file for 2025 is here: What to know
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) expects more than 140 million Americans to file their taxes ahead of the April 15th deadline. The IRS says it is expanding its direct file program for 2025, which is now available to taxpayers in 25 states. This year, it includes more tax forms (like credits for child care and retirement) and new features, such as a W-2 and social security number import tool, a chatbot, and added security options. If you don’t live in a direct file area, you may still qualify for IRS Free File if you earn under $84,000 and file standard forms.
