IRS launching new programs to make filing easier as 2024 tax season begins
ABC News
The IRS is offering new programs for taxpayers during the 2024 tax filing season after receiving supplemental funds to increase services from the Inflation Reduction Act.
As the 2024 tax season kicks off across the nation Monday, the Internal Revenue Service is offering some new services it says will help make filing easier for taxpayers.
The IRS is now offering Free File and Direct File for qualifying taxpayers and expanded in-person services through its Taxpayer Assistance Centers.
The new programs come after an infusion of supplemental funding provided to the IRS through the Inflation Reduction Act.
"As our transformation efforts take hold, taxpayers will continue to see marked improvement in IRS operations in the upcoming filing season," IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said. "IRS employees are working hard to make sure that new funding is used to help taxpayers by making the process of preparing and filing taxes easier."
