Pennsylvania to Join IRS Free Filing System, Saving Taxpayers Millions

Treasury Secretary Yellen and Governor Shapiro announce expanded access to free tax filing, highlighting significant financial benefits.

Over 1.5 million Pennsylvanians will be able to file simple tax returns for free starting next year.
The initiative follows a successful pilot program in 12 states that saved taxpayers $5.6 million in fees.
The IRS Direct File system is funded by the Inflation Reduction Act, aiming to modernize tax services.
Governor Shapiro is a leading contender for Vice President Harris' running mate in the upcoming election.
The system is expected to expand to all 50 states by 2025, offering broader access to free tax filing.
