IRS plans to make its free tax filing program permanent

The Internal Revenue Service said Thursday that it will continue and expand its free tax filing program in 2025.

I was pressed for time when filing this year, so I didn't want to experiment with the IRS' new program and just went with FreeTaxUSA since I knew it would be fast and have my data from last year saved. For those who tried the new program this year, how was it?

I got halfway through it and one of the forms I needed to use was not supported, so I basically wasted my time testing it out. I don’t remember the form, but I felt like it was a basic thing.

I went with FreeTaxUSA as I always do and it was good as always.

I think having to fill out tax forms instead of the government just telling you what you owe is pretty insane and this IRS program does nothing to resolve the actual issue.

That was my issue too. I think it was something with retirement like it didn’t support either 401k or IRA contributions.

I jumped back to freetaxusa since I’ve been using them for years.

Are you guys all sockpuppets, posting from the FreeTaxUSA office or something?
