Get Your Money Back Act

HR 4267, the "Get Your Money Back Act," requires the federal government to continue operating the IRS's free Direct File tax return system and mandates that all 50 states and the District of Columbia must participate in this system for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. The bill directly affects taxpayers who use the free e-filing option and state tax authorities responsible for implementing the system. Key provisions include requiring the Treasury Secretary to maintain the existing free Direct File program and obligating states to join by 2026. This creates a nationwide, no-cost option for filing federal taxes through state tax agencies. The law focuses on expanding access to a specific tax filing mechanism, not on refund amounts or financial benefits.
