FAIR PREP Act of 2025

This bill would stop the IRS from preparing federal tax returns or refund claims for people, and it specifically shuts down the IRS's Direct File program, which currently lets taxpayers in 25 states file their federal taxes for free directly through the IRS website. The bill would still allow two other free tax-filing options to continue: the Free File program, which uses outside tax-preparation software, and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, which helps low-income, disabled, and limited-English speakers file their taxes through local community organizations. It would also block the Department of the Treasury from giving out grants or signing contracts to build or run any electronic tax preparation service.
