Government can and should work well for everyone. We're people-centered problem solvers showing that it's possible.
About us
Code for America is committed to building a team as diverse as the nation we serve. We’re made up of people-centered problem solvers: technologists, advocates, storytellers, and organizers from many different backgrounds and communities around the country. We merge the best parts of technology, nonprofit, and government. We believe government at all levels can and should work well for everyone— and the mindful use of technology makes it possible. We’re known for building digital tools, but the work doesn’t stop there. We seek to transform government by showing what’s possible when communities are included in policy and service design. We use insights and ideas from real people to guide us to real solutions that break down barriers to meet community needs and improve government in meaningful ways. Want to use your skills for good and help us drive change that lasts? Join our team!

We recently hosted a panel discussion on government-run online #TaxFiling, exploring lessons learned and the road ahead at the federal and state levels! The group discussed what made federal #DirectFile a success, how governments can apply these practices elsewhere, how Direct File can scale to more users, and what the path looks like for achieving state direct file nationwide. The discussion of state tax filing featured a live demo of Code for America’s #FileYourStateTaxes. Our panel included: —Gabriel Zucker, Program Director, Tax Policy and Partnerships, Code for America —Sneha Pai, Director of Design, Nava —Natalie Alms, Staff Reporter, Nextgov/FCW If you missed the event, you can watch the video recording here: https://lnkd.in/eFQNjkQm We hope to see you at another future event!

We're thrilled the State of North Carolina has announced it will join Direct File next tax season! We're partnering with them to help their Direct File taxpayers seamlessly and easily file state returns for free with FileYourStateTaxes, our integrated state tax filing tool. "Direct File is already changing the face of tax filing in America, democratizing access to the tax system, and empowering millions of taxpayers to easily claim the refunds they are due without fees. We are honored to be part of this project and to help bring these benefits to North Carolinians," says Amanda Renteria, CEO of Code for America. https://lnkd.in/gM6YHq7v #DirectFile #Taxes
