Filing taxes by April 15 every year is far more difficult and costly than it needs to be for many American families. To help remedy that problem, the IRS recently announced that it is launching a pilot for its long-anticipated Direct File program, which will provide interested people in 13 states the ability to file their federal taxes for free next year. People in Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and New York will be able to file their state taxes for free, as well.
