Block GOP, Trump from slashing IRS funding

Petition to Congress: We urge you to protect IRS funding and IRS Direct File. SIGN THE PETITION! Republicans have been pushing cuts to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) since Democrats increased funding so the agency could audit the ultra-rich. With Trump in office, those cuts are closer to becoming a reality. It's clear who wins if the GOP gets their IRS cuts: billionaires who cheat on their taxes, massive corporations, and companies like TurboTax who want to put an end to the IRS free online tax filing tool called Direct File. Republicans have a very slim margin in Congress and giveaways to giant corporations at the expense of working people won't be popular. We must pressure Congress to keep the IRS funded to recoup tax money from the rich and continue running Direct File. Sign the petition: Stop the GOP from slashing IRS funding and ending free online Direct File! IRS funding threatens billionaire tax cheats — it costs the agency substantially more resources to audit billionaires and big corporations than everyday Americans. That funding has also allowed the agency to expand Direct File to 25 states, posing an existential threat to the profits of companies like TurboTax. Since the IRS received a massive funding infusion from the Inflation Reduction Act, the agency has brought in millions from ultra-rich people evading taxes. Congress must protect the IRS, even if some of their billionaire buddies have to pay up. Add your name: Protect IRS funding and IRS Direct File from GOP attacks.
