The Trump administration has pulled the plug on a team of tech-savvy civil servants that helped build the IRS's free tax-filing service and revamped websites across government, according to an email sent overnight to employees.

The article from MSN discusses how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has decided to disband its in-house technology team responsible for developing a free, government-run tax filing system. This decision comes amidst a backdrop of controversy involving Elon Musk, who has been vocal about his disdain for the IRS and has even suggested that the agency should be abolished. Musk's comments were in response to the IRS's plans to hire 87,000 new employees, which he and other critics argue would lead to increased audits on average Americans. The IRS's move to dissolve the tech team, which was part of an initiative to provide a free filing option directly through the government, has raised concerns about the future of tax filing services, potentially leaving taxpayers with fewer options outside of commercial tax preparation companies. This development is seen by some as a setback in the push for more accessible and less costly tax filing solutions.
