Autofill Act of 2026

The "Autofill Act of 2026" directs the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to establish a program allowing individual income taxpayers to download partially pre-populated tax forms, such as the 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ, from its website. These forms will include information already reported to the IRS and Social Security Administration, such as wages and self-employment income. To enable this, the bill changes the deadline for businesses and other entities to submit various information returns (like W-2s and 1099s) to the IRS and Social Security Administration to January 31st each year. Taxpayers can access these forms in both printable and computer-readable formats, but are explicitly reminded that they remain fully responsible for verifying the accuracy and completeness of their final tax return.
