I expect IRS DirectFile to return and made permanent with recent Congressional regime change.

I'd not expect that until 2028 and a little later after that.

The team that managed DirectFile was laid off in DOGE. Further, the current admin has been happily violating the Impoundment Control Act. Congress is going to have to sue to get them to start enforcing the law and I don't expect that to work its way through the courts very quickly. Further, I'd not be surprised if the supreme court decides that the Impoundment control act is unconstitutional for some reason or another.

It should be made permanent.

We're working with the IRS commissioner who spearheaded IRS Direct File to bring it back. https://getprimemeridian.com

I expect this will make Trump very unhappy and he will veto it. I would be very surprised if Congress could override the veto.
