The Autofill Act of 2026 requires the Internal Revenue Service to create a program allowing taxpayers to download their tax forms with information already filled in based on data the IRS has already received from employers and other sources. The pre-populated forms would be available in two versions: one as a printable document and one compatible with tax preparation software. The bill affects all individual income tax filers by potentially simplifying the filing process and reducing the need to manually enter information the government already possesses. The IRS must establish standards and provide a demonstration system by October 31, 2026, and make the full service available by February 15, 2027, with wage and employment income information being provided by January 31 each year. Importantly, the legislation maintains that taxpayers remain fully responsible for verifying the accuracy of all information in their downloaded forms before filing.
