IRS Statement The IRS is reviewing the concerns raised about the Free File program. We take these issues seriously, and a senior leadership team was assembled to review the current Free File program. As part of this process, the IRS reached out to the software companies and others. The IRS continues to believe it’s critical to provide wide access to free electronic filing of tax returns, particularly for lower-income households. The IRS team will take fast action to ensure the integrity of the program.
