The Trump administration may have just axed the IRS Direct File program. During a summit earlier this week, IRS Commissioner Billy Long said the free tax filing service is “gone,” adding that “big beautiful Billy wiped that out,” as reported earlier by Bloomberg Law.

The IRS's free Direct File program — a new initiative that allowed taxpayers to complete their taxes using free, guided tax software approved by the federal agency — is no more, following a push by the Trump administration to axe the service as part of his One Big Beautiful Bill.

President Donald Trump's massive spending and policy bill includes funding to research and "replace any direct e-file programs run by the Internal Revenue Service." Already, the program is "gone," Long said at a tax professional summit on July 28, Bloomberg Law reports.
