IRS Free Tax Filing System May Be Banned By Democrats, Republicans | Fortune

People earning under 66,000 a year have been able to file electronically for free.

Dems and Reps in congress are about to pass a law that stops this.

These are your politicians hard at work for you.

ProPublica’s Justin Elliott reports that the Taxpayer First Act, sponsored in the House by Democratic Rep. John Lewis (GA) and Republican Mike Kelly (PA), and in the Senate by Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR), would prohibit the IRS from creating an online tax preparation system that would compete with TurboTax and H&R Block.

As Elliott explains, this provision is a long-held priority of those tax preparers, who have spent massive sums of money ($6.6 million just last year) lobbying Congress to keep taxes complicated and prevent the IRS from simplifying the process.
