The Trump administration may have just axed the IRS Direct File program. During a summit earlier this week, IRS Commissioner Billy Long said the free tax filing service is “gone,” adding that “big beautiful Billy wiped that out,” as reported earlier by Bloomberg Law. President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill includes a provision to establish a task force dedicated to “the replacement of Direct File.” The IRS first announced Direct File in 2023, which lets taxpayers submit their tax returns directly to the government for free. The future of Direct File has remained uncertain for months, with several reports suggesting the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) federal cuts may eliminate it. “Direct File was an easy way for Americans to file their taxes for FREE each year,” Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) wrote in a post on X.
