You apparently misunderstood what I was saying. The IRS is testing a program where they tell you how much you get/owe, and that's it unless you need to make changes like adding deductions or reporting unreported income.
That's the free program they're offering already, it's through Intuit, though.
They specifically want you to neglect to report your deductions.
No, it's not the legacy "free file" program, which Intuit has actually opted out of.
It's a new "Direct file" pilot program. It will automatically calculate your deductions and credits, as they are not in anyway trying to "stop you" from getting them.
Unless you have more itemized deductions than the standardized deduction would save you, there's not a point in reporting your deductions.
And you'd have to be in a pretty high income bracket or run your own business for that to happen.
I make upper middle class money and keep all receipts and such, and I've never had my itemized deductions surpass the standardized deduction. But every year I enter all of it just to see.
If you're one of the people who do, then you're likely already have a tax accountant doing your taxes for you.
No it's not. They're testing out direct filing in 13 states this year, cutting companies like Intuit out of the equation for a giant chunk of the population.
