Bill overview
This bill, the Fair Prep Act of 2025, prohibits the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from directly preparing federal tax returns or refund claims, with a few exceptions. Specifically, it restricts the IRS’s Direct File program, which currently allows some taxpayers to file electronically for free. The bill maintains access to existing programs like the IRS Free File and volunteer tax assistance, but limits the IRS’s ability to create or fund new electronic tax preparation services. It also restricts grant awards and contracts related to such services.
