This legislation aims to preserve the role of private tax preparation and limit government involvement in filing tax returns.

Could we trust private companies to do a better job on taxes? Possibly. But cutting out the IRS? That’s a high-stakes gamble on Americans’ wallets.

If the IRS steps back from preparing returns, is this easing bureaucracy or opening a mess of confusion? I’m not sold on either yet.

Maybe it’s time to ask if we want tax prep run like a business or a service—but banning one side outright feels like playing referee and player at once.

Stop acting like tax prep is a game show and the IRS is 'the host'; it’s a lifeline for millions who can’t afford pricey accountants.

Finally shutting down government-run tax prep? About time we stopped the IRS from muscling its way into every corner of our lives.

This bill starves the IRS of tools that could simplify taxes for everyone—guess complexity taxes the poor more than the rich, and Congress loves it that way.

This bill isn’t just fair, it’s freedom—less government, more choice, and hopefully fewer headaches come April.

Taking the IRS out of tax prep is like handing your meds over to Big Pharma—who do they think they’re helping? Government services protect the people, not line corporate pockets.

Let the free market handle tax returns, not an agency known for audits and overreach; taxpayers don’t need Uncle Sam as their tax preparer.
