IRS plans to make its free tax filing program permanent

The Internal Revenue Service said Thursday that it will continue and expand its free tax filing program in 2025.

CNN
Article says some states may refuse to participate. Well since it’s a program that helps people and provides a free option instead of using a corporate tax preparer, then I assume all GOP states will hate it and call it liberal socialism somehow. Betcha we hear the same argument we get with healthcare … " The libs want to force you to use this and take away your ability to choose"
like hateful racist clockwork
GOP rule #1: oppose anything and everything that’s provided at no cost to the end-user if someone somewhere can charge too much money for the same product. and no, instatwitbooksnaptok isn’t included because the end-user IS the product
Texas must be soooo mad they don’t have income tax so can’t really do anything about it.
Nope. Not mad at all about not having state income tax.

some states may refuse…

Fucking Hawaii, it’s always Hawaii.

A lot of GOP led states don’t have state taxes anyways. Worst case scenario, people in said states only need taxes prepared for federal anyways.
Texas was one of the states that could participate in the trial. But it is Texas, so I’m not holding my breath that they will continue being cool with it. Fingers crossed though.
As a Texan, there is no state income tax here. Texas can’t say shit.
I want to choose to fund lobbyists working against me to make every April a little bit harder and more expensive :(
