The 2025 Direct File Report
Nina Olson and Gabriel Zucker:
…the team continued to evaluate Direct File, as it had all along, preparing a comprehensive year-two report on its work. We filed a Freedom of Information Act request for that evaluation, and this week received Direct File’s 2025 season-end filing report. It tells an inspiring story of a product genuinely transforming tax administration in America, a story made bittersweet only by the fact that such progress has been cut short.
In addition to their summary, the Center for Taxpayer Rights has posted the full report for all to read.
