Replay: The Tax Software We Deserve with Gabriel Zucker

March 19, 2024 • Episode 139

This episode originally aired on April 5th, 2023.

As tax season ramps up in earnest, and given the good news about the IRS's Direct File Pilot Program, we thought now would be a good time to revisit an interview we conducted last year with Code For America's Gabriel Zucker, the Interim Program Director of Tax Policy and Partnerships.

This interview focused on how the IRS could design a direct file system, what such a tool might look like, and Code for America's work in civic tech for taxes.
