With Trump reportedly planning to end the IRS Direct File program, there's no better time to remember how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free.
So #Harvard to lose #TaxExempt status?
I wonder if the #IRS has looked at the #religious org run by #JacksonLahmeyer in #Tulsa, #Oklahoma who routinely violates the rules?

“The Internal Revenue Service is making plans to rescind the tax-exempt status of Harvard University, according to two sources familiar with the matter, which would be an extraordinary step of retaliation as the Trump administration seeks to turn up pressure on the university that has defied its demands to change its hiring and other practices.”

The level of #hostility towards #regular #ordinary #taxpayers is #unbelievable! Why allow a #good program to continue. #GOP is an #evil bunch of #thugs, led by the #felon in the #WhiteHouse. All #MAGA are anti-American.

The #authority to investigate & change #TaxExempt statuses rests solely w/ #IRS, & the president is BARRED from directly or indirectly requesting that the agency exercise that #power against taxpayers [including #universities].
Andrew De Mello, the IRS’s acting chief counsel, received the request Wed from ofcls in the #Treasury Dept…
The Trump admin has displaced numerous IRS leaders to empower political allies…
Trump on Tues [YESTERDAY] appointed Gary Shapley the agency’s acting commissioner….
#TaxExempt status is available to charitable, religious & #educational orgs, as well as social welfare groups. But the organizations must strictly adhere to tax laws that prohibit them from engaging in certain political activity. There is NO proof that #Harvard violated any of those guardrails.
“The #IRS is supposed to administer the tax rules impartially, not pursue political #vendettas against exempt organizations,”said Steve Rosenthal, who served as snr fellow at the #TaxPolicy Center.
100% ILLEGAL
WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS?!?!?
#Trump administration asks #IRS to revoke #Harvard’s #TaxExempt status
The directive to the IRS is a significant escalation of Trump’s feud with #HarvardUniversity & other Ivy League institutions & other #nonprofit groups his admin views as “woke.”

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the IRS’ Direct File program, an electronic system for filing tax returns directly to the agency for free, according to two people familiar with the decision.

For small business owners who are overwhelmed by tax debt, tax resolution services can significantly transform their situation.

So Direct File is basically dead, and I won't be surprised if Free File follows suit. Huge win for Intuit, H&R Block, the rich and powerful and a huge loss for everyone else.

RIP for another terrific (and free) Public Service solution initially developed by 18F.
Sadly this was 100% completely expected:

Seems Trump's pick to lead the IRS quite suddenly got $130,000 in 'campaign donations' almost as soon as the nomination was announced #trump #IRS #campaign #donations #elections #taxes
Trump's IRS nominee Billy Long just had his personal debt paid off by donors whose firms have bus before the tax agency he’d lead.
If confirmed, he'd be able to do favors for the donors.
The revelations come as lawmakers call for a criminal probe of how tax credits were used by these donors’ firms -many -have previous ties to Rep Long, Trump’s IRS nom *confirm: pending in the Sen.
A scene out of the Godfather?
Trump is governing as a mob boss.
