Tax filing is a civic obligation and should not be a financial burden for low- and moderate-income taxpayers. We have long-standing, serious concerns about Free File.1 And we have been increasingly alarmed by recent reports that tax preparation companies that participate in Free File have intentionally steered eligible consumers away from their free tax filing product and toward their often-expensive paid products. Accordingly, we urge you to ensure that pending tax administration legislation does not lock the IRS into the existing Free File arrangement or prevent it from pursuing options that could provide low- and moderate-income taxpayers with better free tax preparation and filing services and alternatives, including return-free filing.
