The Trump administration plans to eliminate the IRS’ Direct File program, an electronic system for filing tax returns directly to the agency for free, according to two people familiar with the decision.
The program developed during Joe Biden’s presidency was credited by users with making tax filing easy, fast and economical. But Republican lawmakers and commercial tax preparation companies complained it was a waste of taxpayer money because free filing programs already exist, although they are hard to use.
The program had been in limbo since the start of the Trump administration as Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency have slashed their way through the federal government. Musk posted in February on his social media site, X, that he had “deleted” 18F, a government agency that worked on technology projects such as Direct File.
Lol. Fucking dumb motherfuckers like this is why we are in this position
First, no he won’t give everyone $5k.
But even if he did, you think $5000 is anything close to what has already been taken from us?
A bunch of fucking marks, I swear.
Also, no, he didn’t give everyone $2400, but keep making shit up “to be fair.”
Why not? It’s not his money, and it would win some votes for Republicans in the midterms.
No
Every single person who filed an income tax return of less than $75,000 the year before or $120,000 jointly. That’s close enough to “everybody”. He printed money to do it, and it was more of a political stunt than anything else, but it absolutely happened.
