At a Senate Committee on Finance hearing Tuesday, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) questioned Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Daniel Werfel on the IRS’ direct filing program, increased spending and funding priorities. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

During the hearing, Senator Barrasso highlighted how the IRS’ direct filing portal puts American taxpayers at risk. By replacing the successful private sector options used by millions of taxpayers, this portal gives the IRS full control over the taxes of Americans. Senator Barrasso questioned Commissioner Werfel on how the agency would protect taxpayers from conflicts of interest and what safeguards are in place to protect private data.
