IRS will pilot free, direct tax filing in 2024::Direct File is a shot across the bows of Turbotax, H&R Block, and others who have resisted free and simple tax filing for decades.

I've been using IRS Free File Fillable Forms for a few years now. It's not super great but it does the job. It also has a dorky name.

IRS is great at sending letters but not so great at naming or publicizing things (see IRS Free File, or paper forms being available at post offices and libraries) or maintaining technology from this century (they send faxes regularly and still run COBOL)
