Summary
The Autofill Act would require the IRS to make individual tax forms (1040, 1040A, 1040EZ) available online already populated with information the agency already has, such as wages and self‑employment earnings. It applies to all individual taxpayers and aims to speed up filing while keeping the taxpayer responsible for checking the data. The bill also sets deadlines for the IRS and Social Security to share data and for the program’s technical standards to be established.
