Has anyone tried "Direct File" the new government tax filing site.

Florida is one of the 11 states where it is being tried.

File your taxes for free | Internal Revenue Service

It's not free. Taxpayers are paying for it. I would rather use TurboTax.

Exactly. And, a lot of those who use the website, will be paying no taxes, but will be receiving money from the Government.

It has a lot of restrictions. No pension/retirement income, low AGI, low interest levels etc. I have been using the free Cash App service for the last few years without any problems.

It’s for very basic returns....nothing complex. I still use a CPA strictly out of loyalty and friendship

Thank you, love it, wondered if it ever dawns on people that "someone" pays for all those "free" government conveniences. I once lived in a small town where the entire population so excited the city fathers actually negotiated with a highway sign company for a highway sign to THANK the federal government for the NEW BRIDGE they were being "given"... ??? If you tried to explain to them, they'd never "get it"....LOL !
