The IRS says 140,803 people successfully filed their taxes with the agency's free direct file pilot program – exceeding their goal of 100,000.
@AndrewSolender Over 140K filed taxes successfully with IRS's free program! 🎉
@AndrewSolender @chrislhayes My accountant charged me $738 And that's tax deductible.
@AndrewSolender @jentaub I used IRS Direct File. It was much easier and I got my return faster.
@AndrewSolender Or abolish tax code and set a flat income tax and be done with it - literally no filing except for self employed
@AndrewSolender @HC_Richardson Free Fillable Forms has been available for a long, long time. It supports all forms.
@AndrewSolender Should be a million people in 25 and 25 million in 2026
@AndrewSolender @HC_Richardson I was one of them and it took half the time as TurboTax. But it’s currently only geared for people with W2s. Not robust enough for people with lots of deductions or investments. Yet…
@AndrewSolender That’s it..? This was available in like a dozen states right?
