Problems like these have been widespread throughout the federal government since Reagan’s “downsizing” in the 80’s. Yes, the number of workers directly employed by the government may have decreased, but the number of private contractors exploded- who were largely unaccountable and had none of the institutional knowledge of the “in-house” employees they replaced. The resulting (inevitable) decline in the quality of government services & corresponding loss of public trust shows just how well this has worked. And now there’s a push to privatize TSA- heaven help us!
As a federal government retiree I was not surprised to see Direct File eliminated. The Republicans for years have sabotaged the civil service through budget wars and demeaning civil servants, I believe with the purpose of turning over government services to their profit making business cronies. Trump put the project on steroids.
I used Direct File. Easy, even for a Luddite like me, efficient, I got my refund in about two weeks. I refuse to pay a private business for software or otherwise to file my taxes. That’s not “free file” as the IRS refers to it now.
For now I’m back to paper filing, hoping the Democrats being Direct File back. And I’ll be careful not to over withhold taxes from my IRA required minimum distribution in the future. We’ll see how long it takes to get my refund this year.
Thank you for the article, Don . Corruption has become an area where the people of America are not happy with this administration. Polling shows that , we the people are against corruption with this administration and high inflation and high unemployment , taxes also leads us into recession. If you like Independent media please give to Lincoln Square.
