Autofill Act of 2026

This bill would require the IRS to create a program that lets taxpayers download individual income tax forms already filled in with information reported to the IRS, such as wage and income reports. The IRS would have to post this information within 15 days of receiving it, in both a printable file and a format usable by tax software. Starting by February 15, 2027, and every year after, the IRS website would offer a secure way to download pre-filled 1040 forms. Taxpayers would have to acknowledge that they remain responsible for checking and ensuring the accuracy of their returns. The bill would also set a January 31 deadline for filing information returns and wage reports, and would bar filing extensions for those information returns.
