This may be confusing as e-file is not the same as DirectFile and it should have little or no impact to most taxpayers since you can still always file your taxes for free. DirectFile is just an in-house “competitor” to software such as Turbotax and is only available if you made less than $250k jointly. BTW I’ve been using FreetaxUSA for about 10 years with no issues.


> since you can still always file your taxes for free

Are we talking about the free tax filing that the tax companies hid behind dark patterns?

That is more than 85% of households being cheated by a non progressive tax.
