Because tax filing is made to be complicated, most Americans have to pay somebody to file their taxes, creating huge profits for companies like Intuit (TurboTax).
The IRS was working on a competing solution that would allow us to file our taxes for free.
DOGE fired the 18F team, responsible for creating this free filing solution, along with login.gov, weather.gov, and other key, functional websites that serve the public.
By doing this, Trump and Elon Musk are boosting the profits of companies like Intuit by forcing Americans to pay more and use them instead of a free solution available to all.
