Over the next several weeks, millions of Americans will sit down to file their taxes, whether on paper, with the help of a CPA, or, as will be the case for most, online through a private company. One of the few issues that nearly every American can agree on is that filing your taxes has become too complicated and too expensive, and we need a better path forward.

Luckily, for nearly three million taxpayers in New York this year, there is a solution. This filing season, the IRS is piloting a Direct File program that would allow eligible taxpayers to file their tax returns online directly and securely with the IRS for free.
