The IRS is launching a free tax preparation software program called Direct File, which will be available in 13 states. The program aims to provide an alternative to paid programs like TurboTax. The IRS is also warning taxpayers about phishing scams that mislead them into believing they are owed a tax refund and asks for personal information. The IRS is expanding online services available to tax professionals, allowing them to access a digital self-service portal to view and manage taxpayer information.
