John,



Every day, I’m fighting to make life more affordable for you and your families — from cutting middle-class taxes and tripling the Child Tax Credit to launching the state’s first-ever inflation refund. <[link removed]>

But when tax time comes, too many New Yorkers are forced to pay additional fees just to file their taxes. It shakes out to $260 a year on average.

We’re changing that.

This tax season, millions of New Yorkers can file their taxes for free with Direct File!

If your 2024 wages were less than $200,000 — or $250,000 if you’re filing a joint return — you may qualify to use Direct File to e-file your federal and New York State taxes for free. <[link removed]>

New Yorkers have enough to worry about when it comes to their finances. Extra costs when filing their taxes shouldn’t be one of them.

Direct File is part of my mission to put more money back in your pockets, and I’m going to keep fighting to make life more affordable for all New Yorkers.

Ever Upward,

Gov. Kathy Hochul
