Woo the IRS "direct free file" pilot from last year is going to be expanded to everyone* for 2025 https://www.axios.com/2024/05/30/irs-taxes-direct-file-free-program
* Axios specifically says all states will be "invited to participate" so not clear to me if states can choose to opt out. Also not clear, do you have to be a U.S. resident. In the pilot, expatriates could not participate even if our state of last residence was in the pilot.
