I experienced true happiness for a moment. Only one moment.
Why is it only available in such a limited number of states?
This is the first launch of the program and they're still in a pilot phase. It will presumably roll out to more states (maybe all?) Next year
According to their website it could roll out to more states as soon as mid March of this year.
Well I don't reward laziness and this should have been running in the late 90s.
I guess I'll just file my taxes when the lazy IRS gets off their asses.
The IRS could not legally do this before. They had tried and were sued.
Likely because of state government and state income tax.
The IRS doesn't have anything to do with state taxes though unless they're also handling your state filing free for you?
These states are building online filing systems as well. I think that is why they are included.
