The 2024 tax season is now officially open; and on Monday, KSBY spoke with longtime taxpayers and first-time filers as the IRS rolls out a new program that may allow you to file for free.
As income tax filing season officially starts on Monday, a limited number of taxpayers in 12 states will soon be eligible to join an IRS pilot program that will allow them to calculate and submit their returns to the government directly without using commercial tax preparation software. The Direct File pilot program is rolling out in stages. The program will expand in February and March to include additional taxpayers in certain states.
