- It's been approximately one year since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.
- A small part of the Inflation Reduction Act instructed the IRS to look into developing a free tax filing program.
- A pilot program for it should be available in 2024, and congressional Democrats are excited for the change.
Democratic members of Congress praised the Internal Revenue Service Monday morning for its work in developing a free direct-file tax pilot program for the 2024 tax season.
Signed into law by President Joe Biden in August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act aims to crack down on people cheating the tax system as well as reduce healthcare and energy costs for Americans.
