Boston, Massachusetts – Following today’s announcement by the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of an expansion of the Direct File tax program, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement: 

“Filing your taxes should be easy and free, and now with this program’s permanent expansion, millions more Americans will get the option to file directly with the IRS. Rather than waste an average of 9 hours and $150 with shady tax prep giants like TurboTax and H&R Block, the successful Direct File pilot demonstrated that this program can save you time and money. The Direct File program and its permanent expansion is a good example of how the Biden administration is cutting junk fees and making government work for working people. I urge every state and the District of Columbia to adopt the Direct File program and make paying taxes easy, free, and fair for taxpayers.”
