"During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump claimed he could not release them because he was under audit. In 2020 an IRS contractor leaked parts of Trump’s tax returns to The New York Times; the returns showed years of sustained losses" -

Americans paid +$25B to file their taxes this year after Trump killed Direct File.

It was a free tax-filing service that Californians and 23 other states could use. 90% of users rated it as "excellent" or "above average."

But TurboTax and H&R Block spent $7M lobbying the Trump admin to kill it.

This tax filing season, Donald Trump rigged the system for his billionaire buddies and against hard-working Americans.

While he made it easier for his wealthy friends to cheat the system, he killed the program that allowed Americans to file their taxes for free.

Importers want tariff refunds. But if they already passed the costs on to consumers, should they get the money back in full?

That fight is back—and it has a 1936 precedent.

TaxNotes said House budget used the TCJA extension number but actually assumed more revenue by (hilariously) penciling in 2.6% GDP growth per year, so they can use that extra amount to add in Trump tax cut requests. Any idea if that’s correct?
