The bill also requires the Tax Commissioner to develop and offer a free individual state income tax filing program, effective beginning in taxable year 2028, that is similar to and compatible with the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Direct File program.

The bill contains technical amendments that remove obsolete language regarding fillable forms. This bill is identical to HB 2264.
