From the very beginning of the Direct File pilot, we wanted to test new ways to give taxpayers an easy, accurate and free way to file their taxes online directly with the IRS. We saw a strong response from the pilot, and Direct File’s users generally found it fast and easy to use. This is an important part of our effort to meet taxpayers where they are, give them options to interact with the IRS in ways that work for them, and help them meet their tax obligations as easily and quickly as possible.
Designing Inclusive Tech Products for the Public
When our partners come to us with pressing social issues that affect the communities they serve, we take a human-centered design approach to crafting technology solutions that tackle these challenges head-on. We work iteratively from design through development to align our products and services with the needs of diverse populations. From pioneering innovative technology that improves tax filing to creating platforms that unite separated families, we strive to make a lasting, positive impact on society.
Giving Back to Public Interest Communities
Coforma’s community impact extends beyond our project work. We make annual philanthropic contributions to support organizations that advance public interest technology solutions or directly impact communities in need in this space. We further this through relevant hands-on volunteering opportunities for Cofolx to directly give back to the communities we serve.
Making a Difference Together
Coforma employees enjoy volunteering with each other when the opportunities arise. We’ve cleaned up Rock Creek Park, volunteered at local animal shelters, and served meals at a Veterans services center together. This year, on our company’s annual volunteer day, small groups of Coforma employees are supporting their local food pantries as a way to connect and give back to their communities.
