IRS’s “Direct File” Program Likely Doomed: Corruption, Cruelty, and Corporate Greed at Play
The IRS will discontinue its Direct File program after a limited pilot and one full filing season, according to Commissioner Bill Long. This decision aligns with the policy directives within a large spending bill, which allocated resources to research and potentially replace direct e-file programs. Despite positive feedback from users, with 94% rating their experience as “excellent” or “above average,” the program is ending. The IRS is committed to modernizing its operations and will provide transparency regarding tax returns and audits.
