Americans spend too much time and money filing taxes and deserve a free and easy-to-use filing option.
That’s why @warren.senate.gov and I — joined by 160 lawmakers — are introducing the #DirectFile Act to provide a free and simple tax filing option for all Americans. (1/2)

#WSJ now publishes a paid "board editorial" article telling the American people, who have overwhelmingly supported #IRS #DirectFile application to freely file taxes, that it was a bad idea and cost taxpayers more.
That's a blatant prevarication and misinformation.

“It wasn’t used very much, and we think that the private sector can do a better job.” Such BS ... tax software lobbying got #IRS #DirectFile shut down. No one used it because these companies are so good at making it seem like they're the only option!

The #IRS has killed #DirectFile, because, fuck taxpayers. #Intuit made an investment to buy off #Congress so the #IRS would kill free filing. Now #TurboTax demands its tribute. #Capitalism #Corruption #Resist

IRS Direct File won't continue in 2026, sparking debate. Many see it as corporate lobbying (Intuit) winning over public good, highlighting US tax system complexity. Taxpayers lose, corporations profit, fueling calls for alternative solutions. #DirectFile 1/7

Certainly makes perfect sense to the ignoramuses The Felon put in charge of crucial departments and agencies to eliminate a spectacular FREE program that benefits the government and American citizens.
If you require a third-party tax-preparer, use one. If not, this is a godsend.

2/2 “While Musk dismantled agencies investigating his companies, civil servants like me built #DirectFile into a tax service more beloved than Netflix. It’s now incumbent upon us to make sure that grifters like Elon don’t get close to the halls of power by buying their seats,” said Merici.

One of the best-reviewed gov’t tools in years? IRS #DirectFile.
Free, easy, and fast, yet the Trump admin shut it down. Now, we’re partnering with the people who built it to keep the code and dream alive.

And that’s not all. The tax bill also:
🔴 Removes kids from the #ChildTaxCredit
🔴 Bans states from regulating AI for 10 years
🔴 Kills #DirectFile, making tax filing more expensive
Billionaires win. The rest of us pay the price.

1/There is a reason IRS #DirectFile scared the tax prep industry: it was free, fast, and effective—and people really, really loved it. A newly released internal report shows that 94% of users rated their experience as “excellent” or “above average.” That’s the kind of rating most companies dream of!

Direct File, the IRS’s long-promised free tax filing software, might be at risk of being killed off by the Trump administration, so the IRS published most of the code for its Direct File on #GitHub, making it open source

Tax prep giants like TurboTax and the Trump admin worked to shut down #DirectFile.
