💨 Abstract

The Trump administration intends to discontinue the IRS' Direct File program, a free, user-friendly system for filing tax returns, citing existing free filing options that are difficult to use. The program, developed during the Biden presidency and expanded this year, received praise for simplifying tax filing. Its elimination was expected after staff assigned to the program were told to halt development for the 2026 tax season.
