Gov. Pritzker and IDOR Announce IRS Direct File Service

News – Friday, January 10, 2025

Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) today announced that Illinois will participate in the IRS Direct File service, which begins on January 27, 2025. Nearly two million eligible Illinois taxpayers will now be able to use Direct File to electronically prepare and file their 2024 federal tax returns for free.

After filing federal taxes, the program also connects taxpayers to Illinois' free state income tax filing system, MyTax Illinois, where they can file and complete their Illinois state returns. Direct File enables working families to prepare and file taxes electronically on their own for free using one streamlined platform and avoid paying costly fees to tax preparation companies.
