AI Summary
This bill directs the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance to develop a free online tax preparation and filing program that will allow all state taxpayers to electronically submit both their federal and state income tax returns at no cost, regardless of their income level. The program must be made available on the department's website within 180 days of the bill's effective date. By providing a free, accessible online platform, the bill aims to make tax filing more convenient and affordable for New York residents, potentially reducing barriers to tax compliance and helping taxpayers avoid paid tax preparation services. The bill's implementation is immediate, meaning the department should begin working on creating this online program right away.
