Washington, DC -- Lawmakers led by Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (Massachusetts) sent a letter to the IRS calling on the agency to make the free pilot electronic tax filing system available to more taxpayers next filing season.
"Today I, along with Senator Warren and dozens of my colleagues, called on the IRS to make the agency’s free pilot direct tax filing system available next filing season to better serve American taxpayers," said Congressman Sherman, the only democrat CPA currently in Congress.
“We urge you to make this pilot of the direct file tool available to as many taxpayers as is feasible,” the lawmakers wrote in a Monday letter to IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel, “in order to deliver real value quickly to American taxpayers and demonstrate the value of modernizing the IRS, while also gathering data to make improvements and to better serve American taxpayers.”
The letter was signed by Senator Tom Carper (Delaware), Congresswoman Katie Porter (CA-47), Congressman Don Beyer (VA-8) as well as over a dozen other lawmakers.
