WISCONSIN - Senator Tammy Baldwin, Governor Tony Evers, and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue announced that Wisconsin will join the Internal Revenue Service Direct File program for filing season 2025.  The program will give eligible Wisconsin taxpayers an option to file their taxes online directly with the IRS for free.  According to a statement from Senator Baldwin’s office, launched as a pilot program in a dozen states in 2024, Direct File users claimed more than $90 million in refunds and saved an estimated $5.6 million in tax preparation fees.
