> eligibility to participate in the pilot...will be limited to taxpayers with certain types of income, credits and deductions – taxpayers with relatively simple returns. The IRS today announced it anticipates specific income types, such as wages on a Form W-2, and important tax credits, like the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit, will be covered by the Direct File pilot.

This is what I was mostly curious about. So, I'm guessing things like ISOs, AMT, capital gains from investments etc would not be supported by this service yet.



The bottom of the blog post has the eligibility requirements list/things-the-pilot-will-support:

Income reporting

-W-2 wage income

-Social Security and railroad retirement income

-Unemployment compensation

-Interest of $1,500 or less

Credits

-Earned Income Tax Credit

-Child Tax Credit

-Credit for Other Dependents

Deductions

-Standard deduction

-Student loan interest

-Educator expenses
