    There are actually 8 tax prep programs partnered with the IRS! While filming the video there was a glitch on the website which resulted in only four showing up, sorry for any confusion.

    I used the Direct File with the IRS. It was great. I have 1 W2 and 2 1099INT. Took me 15 minutes (filled it out at work) and paid the 4 dollars I owed from my checking account. 10/10 recommend

      @@janealm5431 Hopefully they will expand nationally this year after the success of last year's program. They really nailed it.
      Instead of trying to do everything and failing like the Affordable Care Act Marketplace.
      They chose a handful of states & to only support the simplest (and most common) tax return type. They completely nailed it as a result. Website was fast, responsive, and super easy. Took me less than 15 minutes

    Hello, my parents filed their married jointly taxes, and they owe a balance to the IRS. They were told they could see and pay the balance online. Since they filed married joint taxes as they have been for years, do they both have to make separate online IRS accounts from each other to see the balance they owe the IRS, or do they just have to create one online IRS account since they filed married joint taxes?

    • @APennyPinchersGuide

    American tax payers should group together and withhold all tax payments until our demands are met:
    1: Abolishment of the current reporting systems utilized. All numbers are transparently displayed
    2: Employers face Federal prison for not sending appropriate tax documentation via certified mail.
    3: A three way digital authentication system between workers, employers, and the IRS.
    4: Forgiving payment plans for tax payers to pay their tax burden.
    5: Peoples and organizations with incomes greater than $300,000.00 USD paying larger tax burdens.
