The Direct File Act of 2026 amends the Internal Revenue Code to establish an online tax preparation and filing program. The program will allow taxpayers to prepare and file individual income tax returns online. It will be owned by the federal government, use IRS data to simplify the process, and be accessible on mobile devices. The program will be free, with no fees imposed on taxpayers. It will also enable taxpayers to file state and local income tax returns in conjunction with their federal returns.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
