PayPal makes tax season less horrible with free state and federal filing

PayPal is offering free federal and state tax filing for U.S. PayPal Debit Card customers through April, aiming to simplify and reduce the cost of tax season. The service, powered by April, allows users to file electronically with both the IRS and their state, pre-filling information and guaranteeing maximum refunds. It also provides options for early federal refunds and flexible payment methods for those who owe taxes. This initiative is part of PayPal's strategy to integrate essential financial tasks within its ecosystem, encouraging users to stay within its services for various financial activities.
