Congressman Says 'Nobody Asked For The IRS To Be Americans' Tax Preparer,' Applauds Efforts To Shut Down The IRS Direct File Program

IRS Turmoil Deepens After 'Unheard Of' Treasury Interference Triggers Commissioner's Departure

Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) is celebrating the House-passed bill that would shut down the Internal Revenue Service Direct File program, a free federal tool that allows Americans to file taxes online without paying private companies.

“Nobody asked for the IRS to be Americans' tax preparer, filer, and auditor,” Smith posted on X on June 24. “The House-passed One, Big, Beautiful Bill puts an end to the IRS Direct File Program.”
