>The IRS now provides free tax filing.

For federal taxes only... and with silly limitations that exist... because lobbying? And oh by the way, the IRS isn't actually offering anything, they'll refer you to third parties that will then make money off of you if you have anything beyond the most basic filing, and also if you want to file state taxes.

So no, they don't actually do that.

The IRS is piloting directfile.irs.gov this year, if you live in CA you can use it.

Why would the IRS provide a filing service for state income taxes? Go ask your state government to provide this if you want it. The IRS isn't the one collecting those taxes
