Interesting. lRS is offering the service in 13 states. There are 9 states with no state income tax and every single one of those 9 is on the list of 13 trial states (plus four other states that do have a state income tax).
I am pretty sure the reason the states without income taxes are participating is because the state government are trying to track their people better. Tax returns are a tracking tool and these states are trying to make it easy for the IRS to collect data that will be in turn shared with the states.
I say this because California is aggressively trying to get everyone to file a CA tax return, including people who don't make enough to be required to file a return, people who don't live in California, businesses that don't do business in California, etc. At first I was confused about why The State of California want tax returns so bad on people who they know don't owe them ant tax money. Eventually, I figured out it was for data tracking. I wrote an article about it: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=1867
Anyway, it is no surprise that California is part of the pilot. California has been pushing the IRS to make a tool like this so that it can be expanded to file California returns, too.
Maybe. But if the taxless state wants to track it's people better why not just start up an income tax? Also (might be wrong about this) I don't recall that article saying that the taxless states are "participating". The four states that do have their own tax are working with lRS (so it said in the article, I believe) but I don't think it said one way or the other if the 9 taxless states were working with the lRS.
Starting up an income tax is much easier said than done. Both the IRS and California made income taxes happen through via trickery and deceit; income taxes are actually not legal on the majority of personal types of income. The Federal Reserve and California created agencies to collect the types of income taxes that are legal and then greatly and unlawfully expanded what types of incomes they taxed from there by doing things like cherry picking words within statues out of context, claiming statues have extra words in them that aren't actually in the laws, flat out misinterpreting what the statutes say, etc.
The only thing I can think of is that those are the states that have no stake in the Federal lncome Tax. The 41 states that do have a state income tax are all piggy backing off the federal tax. Maybe the lRS knows it's going to lose some control coming up and is targeting the states that aren't incentivized to care about them.
Those are the states willing to play ball with the enforcement arm of the federal reserve apparently. Before reading that article I kind of had a feeling it would be all the cucked states and what do ya know.
yea, right? My first take too: it would be all the compromised states like CA, NY, IL, etc. But Tennessee, Texas, Florida on the list makes it a total hodgepodge

This is to make the software easier to develop. They don't have to be concerned with state income tax refunds, credits, etc.
The 4 states with state income tax on the list are coordinating directly with IRS.

Interesting and suspicious all at once. I didn't see mention of why those particular states were chosen
