IRS Direct File Is a Good Start for Free Federal Tax Filing, but It Needs to Expand Quickly
Direct File has had a conservative rollout by all accounts. The IRS launched its pilot for Direct File on Jan. 29, but only for a preselected group of government employees to file their taxes.
Upon testing IRS Direct File, I came away impressed with how smooth the software is to use. The service offers clear direction and gives you a good sense of how close you are to completing your return.
But there are some missing components that I expected to see as part of the rollout.
