IRS Free File Program Ends as Agency Looks to New Solutions

The IRS Free File program, which allowed taxpayers to file their returns for free, has been discontinued. The agency's commissioner announced that this decision came after changes made under former President Trump's administration. Instead of continuing with Free File, the IRS is focusing on developing new technology for audits and exploring partnerships with private companies to improve tax services.
This shift means that taxpayers will need to look for other options for filing their taxes without incurring fees. While the IRS aims to enhance its services through new tech and collaborations, individuals may want to explore different online platforms or services available to help with their tax filings. As changes unfold, it's essential for taxpayers to stay informed about their filing options.
