Hat tip to Tom Sullivan at Digby’s place for posting a video from AOC explaining the new direct filing program at the I.R.S. Tax time is coming - but this year is different, depending on which state you live in. AOC tells you how you can file directly with the IRS for FREE! No payment to TurboTax or any of those other services.
Check this out if you live in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Those are the states where this is available.
Even better - if you don't have to file because your income level doesn't require it, you may still want to. You may qualify for a new Federal child tax credit if you have children in your household.
You can see the video from AOC explaining all this here: https://digbysblog.net/2024/03/14/public-service-announcement-from-aoc/
IF enough people sign up for this and approve, this could be made available to the entire country.
