Revolutionizing taxes: IRS Tests disruptive E-filling prototype

the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) initiated testing for a disruptive e-filing prototype that could revolutionize the tax preparation industry. Developed by the IRS and the US Digital Service, with funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, this free e-filing prototype has the potential to be available to filers as early as January.

Currently, the IRS offers no-fee filing options through various companies, but less than three percent of eligible taxpayers utilize them. The new prototype system aims to enable Americans to digitally file their tax returns for free, eliminating the need for expensive tax preparation software or hiring a certified public accountant (CPA). By automating the process and leveraging existing taxpayer income information, the system would save time for filers.

The disruption to the tax preparation industry could be significant, as it is presently dominated by a few major players like TurboTax and H&R Block. The success of the IRS prototype could provide an alternative solution, potentially saving taxpayers money by eliminating the need for costly software and CPA services. This development has the potential to make the tax filing process easier and more affordable for Americans. The impact on the tax prep industry remains to be seen, as only time will reveal the success of the prototype and its effects.
