Maryland is the latest state to join the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) Direct File online tool for the 2025 filing season, which will enable the preparation and filing of taxes electronically and free of charge.
The IRS is teaming up with state tax agencies and software and financial industries firms on a new initiative to combat steep upticks in fraudulent attacks on taxpayers and tax systems.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is moving forward with piloting its Direct File tool in 13 states that will allow people to directly file their taxes next year by only using the online tool if they meet certain criteria.
