GetYourRefund Opens for 2025 Tax Filing Season

Our tool provides high quality, trustworthy, and free tax filing assistance for people with low to moderate income

GetYourRefund—Code for America’s free, virtual tax filing service—opens today for its sixth tax season. GetYourRefund is a digital front door to trustworthy, high-quality, and free tax filing assistance for low- and moderate-income households.

Filers can complete taxes for 2021-2024, to claim essential tax benefits for which they may be eligible, such as the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. These tax benefits are an important source of flexible cash: money that individuals and families can use to meet basic needs, secure living-wage jobs, and handle unexpected emergencies.

GetYourRefund is offered with support of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and in partnership with Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) organizations across the country. This year, GetYourRefund welcomes partners based in 31 states and Washington, D.C.— including new partners in Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, and West Virginia— ensuring greater access to accurate and reliable tax assistance.

Also expanding access to tax filing across the country is IRS Direct File—the first free, public, electronic tax filing tool in U.S. history—which became available for its second year on January 27. Direct File now serves filers in 25 states. We’re thrilled to partner with five of those states through FileYourStateTaxes, our companion state filing tool that integrates with Direct File to support state returns for Arizona, Idaho, Maryland, New Jersey, and North Carolina.

Since its inception, GetYourRefund has helped over 200,000 people file their taxes and claim more than $461,000,000 in refunds. This tax season, we’re excited to continue connecting even more households with the tax benefits they deserve.
