Summary
The Direct File Act of 2026 amends the tax code to require the Treasury Secretary to create and operate a free, online platform for preparing and filing individual federal income tax returns, and where possible, state returns. It also voids any existing or future agreements that restrict the government from offering these services. The law seeks to simplify filing for at least half of taxpayers in states that join the program.
