This is true, but progress is being made.

https://directfile.irs.gov/ is the IRS' direct file service, for those interested. It is supported in concert with 25 states from a tax filing perspective, and is free. From their email newsletter, improvements are rolling out month by month (continual expansion of tax scenarios supported).

Almost certainly going to get killed by DOGE though:

DOGE and this admin won't be around forever. Looking forward to the reboot.

I wish I shared your optimism. I think the process will be more like rebuilding from a pile of rubble than restarting a working system.

Tomato tomato. No optimism, only positive nihilism. We're all default dead, humans have existed for ~300k years, this is another bump in the road.

DOGE declared it woke fraud, waste and abuse.
