        From what I read today this includes the IRS’s project to let Americans file their taxes for free. I forget the most recent status of it except I think it was already in effect as a pilot project available in certain states and was planned for national accessibility. And obviously there’s been big money pressure to kill that effort.

          For now*

          We are in the middle of tax season. Cutting it now would be worse optics than waiting a couple months and gutting it because “no one used it so it was wasteful.”
