Scoop USA Newspaper|August 06, 2024
Governor Josh Shapiro joined U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) Secretary Janet Yellen, leaders from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (DOR), Representative Brendan Boyle, and Representative Mary Gay Scanlon to announce that Pennsylvania will join IRS Direct File for filing season 2025, ensuring people have access to a free, easy-to-use online tool when they file their federal taxes next year.

Direct File will build on myPATH, Pennsylvania’s free tool to file state income taxes and apply for tax cuts like the Property Tax/Rent Rebate.

Governor Shapiro believes we need to meet people where they are and make it easier to access government services online. That’s why the Shapiro Administration worked with the Treasury to bring this program to Pennsylvania. Direct File has already been proven successful at saving taxpayers’ money – in a pilot program across 12 states earlier this year, 140,000 taxpayers claimed more than $90 million in refunds and saved an estimated $5.6 million in filing fees using the free online filing tool.

"Filing your taxes should be free and easy – that’s why we’re improving our digital services and adopting IRS Direct File here in Pennsylvania,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “Thanks to the Biden- Harris Administration’s Direct File initiative, Pennsylvanians will be able to save money by filing both their state and federal taxes at no cost on an easy-to-use platform. There should be no wrong door to access government services, and the Shapiro Administration will continue to bring humancentered, user-friendly, reliable, and accessible digital services to every Pennsylvanian to help lower costs and break down barriers.”
