    How would eliminating the IRS Direct File program affect low-income taxpayers who currently rely on free filing services in the 25 participating states?

  2. 02

    What evidence supports the claim that prohibiting IRS return preparation would benefit taxpayers compared to the current Direct File option?

  3. 03

    If this bill passes, how might tax preparation costs change for eligible filers who lose access to Direct File but still qualify for Free File?
