WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers in New Hampshire that they can file their taxes quickly, easily and for free directly with the agency using IRS Direct File.
The web-based service, available in English and Spanish, offers guided help for preparing and filing a federal tax return from a smartphone, tablet or computer.
Direct File does not replace existing filing options like tax professionals, IRS Free File, free return preparation sites, commercial software or authorized e-file providers.
IRS customer service representatives staffing the Direct File support function can provide technical support and provide basic clarification of tax law related to the scope of Direct File. Questions related to issues other than Direct File will be routed to other IRS customer support, as appropriate.
Although the deadline to file a 2024 tax return and pay any tax owed is April 15, 2025, Direct File will be open until Oct. 15, 2025, for people who may need additional time to file.
For the 2025 filing season, Direct File includes new features that make filing taxes quicker and easier.
Import W-2 wages and other tax information directly from the IRS with step-by-step guidance
Chat bot helps guide taxpayers through the eligibility checker
Live chat feature is available in English and Spanish
Opt-in option allows authenticated and verified taxpayers to access additional customer support or
Request a callback from an IRS Direct File customer support representative.
In addition to covering taxpayers claiming the standard deduction and deductions for student loan interest and educator expenses, Direct File supports taxpayers claiming deductions for Health Savings Account contributions.
Direct File won’t prepare New Hampshire state tax returns. Once taxpayers have completed their federal tax return, Direct File automatically guides them to New Hampshire services to complete their state taxes. Visit the state websites to find information about income tax filing in each state.
