Top Tweets for #DirectFile
ESP’s Future of Tax Filing Fellows — Chris Given, Jen Thomas, @merici, and Gabriel Zucker — helped build one of the most well-received civic tech tools in recent memory: IRS #DirectFile. For the past year, they've been documenting what has worked and exploring the next generation of public tools to expand access to tax credits. Huge congrats to @FedScoop's @MattBracken, whose profile of the fellow just earned a regional silver Azbee Award from ASBPE. 🏆

Americans spend too much time and money filing taxes and deserve a free and easy-to-use filing option.
That’s why @SenWarren and I — joined by 160 lawmakers — are introducing the #DirectFile Act to provide a free and simple tax filing option for all Americans.

A new Treasury report confirms it: the Trump admin has officially killed the IRS #DirectFile tool—free, fast, and loved by taxpayers—handing a massive win to billion-dollar tax prep companies at the expense of the American people.
“The report reveals the true intentions of the Trump Administration to favor the wealthy tax prep industry over American taxpayers,” says ESP’s Adam Ruben.

#DirectFile was not saving Americans billions. The publication fails to cite official @TIGTA reports which paint a different picture.
#IRS Direct File has been plagued by cost overruns, a lack of transparency and poor customer service.
Amy, you helped kill the Direct File program that let Americans do their taxes for free. Now working families are back to paying TurboTax just to file a W-2.
You’re not fighting for the middle class. You’re fighting for Intuit’s stock price.

President Trump's appointed IRS Commissioner Long confirmed what’s been expected for months: #DirectFile is dead.
By calling for investments in “Direct Audits” over automatic free filing, Long makes it clear—he’d rather the IRS help big businesses accused of tax fraud than regular people waiting on refunds. ESP's @adamruben weighed in on today’s Morning Tax.
One of the best-reviewed gov’t tools in years? IRS #DirectFile.
Free, easy, and fast, yet the Trump admin shut it down. Now, we’re partnering with the people who built it to keep the code and dream alive.

1/There is a reason IRS #DirectFile scared the tax prep industry: it was free, fast, and effective—and people really, really loved it.
🧵#IRS insider “hatched a plan” to create #DirectFile before a study.
He admitted: “The optics of one part of government studying the question of Direct File while another part moved full steam ahead weren’t great.”
Complete IRS deception. https://t.co/YQPdSVM9sz
#IRS #DirectFile getting released as #FreeSoftware is a big win for free software advocates: https://t.co/ETq1v1IzP9
It looks like the IRS made a direct file OpenSource on GitHub ... maybe #DirectFile isn't as dead as we thought.
IRS open-sources Direct File, defying Trump's attempt to end it. Free tax filing saves millions, irking tax prep giants. #DirectFile #TaxReform #OpenSource #FreeFile

1/ We’re excited to announce ESP’s new Future of Tax Filing Fellowship—a powerhouse cohort of technologists, designers, and policy strategists who helped make #DirectFile one of the most effective civic tech pilots in recent years.
Now they’re exploring what comes next. 🧵
@Acyn So the middle class will have to pay higher taxes and pay more to help file our returns? Is there no one in the Republican Party who cannot be bought? #directfile @turbotax https://t.co/3o5dYDuyG0
Elon Musk reportedly aims to end the IRS Direct File program for 2026 after it was expanded to 25 states this year as part of the Trump administration’s overarching plan to cut government spending. Read here to learn more about DOGE’s changes to @irs policy #irs #directfile #doge

IRS #DirectFile is under attack by this administration, but with the help of @SenWarren and 175 other members of Congress, Color Of Change is fighting for it! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
I’m leading over 175 Members of Congress to fight for the government’s free, easy-to-use tax filing service.
Trump and Musk want to kill Direct File.
Instead of caving to the billionaire tax prep industry, how about standing up for working Americans?
We’re proud to have advocated alongside the IRS and a powerful coalition including @Groundwork Action, @codeforamerica, @Public_Citizen, @RESULTS_Tweets, and @4TaxFairness to bring #DirectFile to life and are committed to fighting for a tax system that works for everyone. 6/
Since day one, Trump and Musk undermined #DirectFile.
🔴 Staff were fired
🔴 Outreach to taxpayers was banned
🔴 Sensitive taxpayer data was weaponized
🔴 An inaccurate tweet from Musk led millions to think DOGE “cancelled” it
All to sow distrust in the IRS and to protect the profits of giant tax prep companies like @TurboTax and @HRBlock. 3/
