Northwest Iowa — Many northwest Iowans can now take advantage of the Internal Revenue Service’s recently launched “Free File” service for the 2016 tax season.
Christopher Miller, the I-R-S spokesman for Iowa, says there are a few changes to the program this year.
Also new this year, Miller says several software providers are offering the easy importation of Form W-2 information, which can help reduce errors.
In addition to being more accurate, Miller says filing taxes electronically increases the speed at which refunds are processed, if you’re due money back.
Free File is available at IRS.gov/FreeFile. The federal tax filing season began last week, when the IRS began accepting returns.
