because for the first time ever, 19 million Taxpayers across 12 states can file their
taxes online for free direct with the IRS Through our new IRS Direct File program. Direct File is available in English. It’s available in Spanish. It’s free. It’s also simple, accurate and secure. The Direct File program will walk you through
