IRS asks for public input on free tax filing options to inform congressional report
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) invites the public to participate in an anonymous feedback survey on tax preparation and filing options, which will run through Sept. 5, 2025.
The survey is being conducted as part of the Department of Treasury and the IRS’s efforts to fulfill a reporting requirement to Congress under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act. The law directs Treasury to deliver a report to Congress by Oct. 2, 2025, on several key issues related to free tax filing options for the public.
Treasury and the IRS encourage taxpayers to share their perspectives and help inform this important congressional report.
The Trump administration reportedly plans to end the IRS Direct File program for free tax filing. This survey is an opportunity to offer input to the IRS on the prospective elimination of free filing options.
To participate, visit the Free Online Tax Preparation Feedback Survey or the IRS.gov landing page. Participation is anonymous.
