Ways and Means Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after the Internal Revenue Service announced new progress on a direct file pilot program:

"Today’s announcement marks welcome progress at the Internal Revenue Service. Direct filing will ease taxpayers’ burden and help deliver more comprehensive services, including bilingual customer support lines, that particularly benefit low- and moderate-income families across America. As one of the four states participating in the pilot program, Massachusetts is ready to be at the forefront of delivering this new electronic filing option and continuing the advancements delivered by Ways and Means Democrats with the historic Inflation Reduction Act. While Republicans attempt to undermine the IRS to protect wealthy and well-connected tax cheats, Democrats are busy building a fairer, more accessible tax system for all."
