The IRSs free tax filing pilot was a huge success, despite TurboTax and H&R Blocks efforts to block it. Direct File saved people $5.6 million in tax prep and $90 million in refunds. In just 12 states. Now we need to fully fund the IRS to make it permanent and nationwide.

(112,795 posts)for insurance companies and April 15 was a major filing date and there were steep fines if the reports were late. Most of the time my filings were straight-forward and I could use Form 1040-EZ, but it was difficult to find even 30 minutes from late February to April 15 to fill out the form, copy, and mail.
