Lastly, the IRS opens its ‘Free File‘ program, allowing taxpayers to file their returns online for free.
IRS spokeswoman, Nena Perez, indicated that the program coincides with the beginning of the 2025 tax season. “Starting this Friday, taxpayers will be able to access the IRS’s Free File program,” she announced.
The ‘Free File’ program is a public-private sector partnership that provides free tax preparation and e-filing options through commercially licensed third-party providers.
Perez emphasized the importance of e-filing, “It’s paperless, faster, and more secure. Plus, you’ll get your tax refund in half the time compared to filing a paper return.”
This also marks the beginning of the 2025 tax season. The IRS reminds taxpayers to prepare for potential changes in tax brackets this year, with four key changes expected, as mentioned by MSN. Additionally, the credibility of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) will be enhanced, with additional safeguards to prevent fraud.
Lastly, Univision reports that the IRS will continue to provide free tax assistance and preparation services in Spanish, ensuring all communities can access these tools to file their taxes accurately and confidently.
