The Internal Revenue Service is moving ahead with a plan to build its own free tax filing program, known as Direct File, announcing Tuesday that a pilot version will be available to some taxpayers in 13 states next year.
Armed with an influx of new money approved by Democrats last year, the IRS is conducting a major overhaul of its operations – despite continued threats from Republicans to cut future funding and even abolish the agency altogether.
Eventually, the IRS tax filing system could serve as an alternative to private tax preparation companies like H&R Block and Intuit’s TurboTax.

That’s the stupid tax.
For most people, someone (consumer reports for example) will do a good comparison and that will help them choose.
No one deserves to be tricked into having their home finances be more difficult, “stupid” or not.
That’s not how the stupid tax works.
Stupid tax means we can’t prevent you from shooting your foot.
