The Senate is voting on a bill to revive IRS Direct File, a free tax filing service discontinued in 2025. Senator Elizabeth Warren is seeking unanimous consent to fast-track the Direct File Act, which would restore the government-run filing system that previously operated in 25 states.
Background
IRS Direct File was a government-run free tax filing pilot program launched in 2024 that allowed Americans to file taxes directly with the IRS without using commercial software.
