Bans the IRS from offering its own electronic tax filing service to taxpayers.
This bill would stop the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from running its own electronic tax preparation service, like the Direct File program. This means taxpayers would no longer have that option to prepare and file their tax returns directly with the government. It would also prevent the IRS from spending money to develop or operate such services in the future.
Today, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) operates an electronic tax preparation service, like the free direct e-file tax return system, allowing taxpayers to prepare and file their tax returns directly with the IRS. If this bill becomes law, the IRS would no longer be allowed to offer such a service, and would be blocked from spending money to create or run similar programs in the future, for returns filed 30 days after the bill's enactment.
