For billionaires and giant corporations,
every day under the Trump administration must feel like Christmas.
Trump’s latest gift to CEOs and big business? He’s planning to end Direct
File, a new IRS program that allows taxpayers to file their taxes with the
government for free.
I’m proud to have helped create Direct File under the Biden
administration’s Inflation Reduction Act — and even prouder of the results
we’ve seen so far.
Taxpayers had historically wasted time and money on filing their taxes
through companies like Intuit (which owns TurboTax) and H&R Block —
spending an average of $240 and 13 hours to file their taxes every year.
It simply doesn’t have to be this way. To date, Direct File has helped
over 140,000 Americans save $5.6 million in tax preparation fees.
But instead of helping taxpayers keep that $240 back in their pocket,
Trump wants companies like Intuit to continue raking it in and
monopolizing tax preparation services.
Why, oh why, would Donald Trump do that? Corruption.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund — and we can be
sure that they are expecting a return on that investment.
Plain and simple: Trump is going after Direct File because the program
stops giant tax prep companies from ripping off taxpayers for services
that can easily be free.
[ [link removed] ]Direct File made life easier and cheaper for Americans. Now Trump is
killing it. I’m going to keep calling this out for what it is — greed and
corruption, plain and simple. If you’re with me, add your name to say you
want politicians to do everything they can to protect and expand Direct
File, not dismantle it.

This giveaway to the big tax prep companies is basically putting an “open
for business” sign above the White House. It’s a clear example of big
money interests buying the president’s favor in order to get special
treatment.
Shutting down Direct File isn’t good for the everyday consumer. It isn’t
good for competition. It isn’t good for just about everybody except for
the executives at a handful of companies — and Donald Trump himself.
It also harms the public trust. Voters are seeing how politicians can be
easily bought and sold by the highest bidder. Whether it’s Paramount
ending Colbert’s show just days after he criticized their settlement with
Trump, or the Trump administration using trade negotiations to strike
deals for Starlink — this kind of self-dealing erodes voters’ faith in
their government. It means the rich and powerful win while everybody else
loses out.
[ [link removed] ]That’s why we have to get loud and call out this attack on Direct File
to make it clear this won’t help the vast majority of Americans. If you
agree, add your name here, and we’ll fight together to stop the Trump
administration’s attacks on the Direct File program.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
