What is IRS Direct File?

Direct File is a new free, public, and online tax filing tool created by the IRS. Direct File is available in English and Spanish and works if you take the standard deduction and claim common tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. It is designed for tech-savvy taxpayers who have internet access to support a video call, a working camera on a phone, tablet, or computer, and a U.S. phone number that accepts texts or phone calls.
