Summary
The bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to require the Treasury Secretary to establish and operate a free, government-owned online program allowing taxpayers to prepare and file individual income tax returns directly with the IRS. It would prohibit the Secretary from entering into agreements that restrict the IRS from providing tax preparation or filing services, and void existing such agreements 30 days after enactment. The bill also sets requirements for the program (interview-based design, mobile access, multilingual support, mass marketing, and live chat), requires that at least 50 percent of taxpayers in participating states be eligible starting in 2028, and includes provisions for integrating state income tax filing and authorizing appropriations for fiscal years 2026 through 2035.
