Title is a little misleading and since we don’t read articles:

It’s in pilot and only 13 states are participating in 2024:

Arizona, California, Massachusetts and New York have decided to work with the IRS to integrate their state taxes into the Direct File pilot for filing season 2024. Taxpayers in nine other states without an income tax – Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming -- may also be eligible to participate in the pilot. Washington has also chosen to join the integration effort for the state's application of the Working Families Tax Credit. All states were invited to join the pilot, but not all states were in a position to join the pilot at this time.

Pretty big limitations too: only individual filers, not joint. And only W2 or social security/railroad income, plus <1500 in interest. No itemizing deductions.
