Many state treasurers and controllers publicly opposed Direct File during its pilot, but advocates for the program claim that it looks like a good deal to many nonpartisan state officials who deal with taxes.
“High-level politics aside, the people who are actually in charge of implementing the state tax systems, the Department of Revenue folks — … it’s in their best interest to make filing your taxes as easy and quick as possible and get more people doing it,” said Anna Aurilio, senior director of campaigns for the Economic Security Project. Her group is one of several advocacy groups lobbying states to sign up for Direct File.”
