Protect IRS Direct File for free tax filing

The free Direct File program offered by the IRS should be protected from attempts by Elon Musk and Secretary Bessent to eliminate it in favor of corporate profits over the interests of American taxpayers. This vital program allows those with simple tax situations to file directly without paying fees, benefiting those on fixed incomes who cannot afford high filing costs. Continued funding and promotion of Direct File must be ensured to provide free, streamlined tax filing access for all eligible citizens rather than privileging private tax preparation companies' revenue over public good.
