I’ve been in this fight for years, and we just got some encouraging news

After years of us being in this fight, the IRS just announced a pilot program for free tax filing.

Danielle,

Sometimes, fighting for change feels like pushing a boulder up a never-ending hill.

But if you keep going, and going, and going, you finally glimpse sunlight streaming over the top of the hill — and you know you're making progress.

Here's an example of a fight where we just got some encouraging news: creating a free tax filing system.

You see, for years and years, I've called out giant tax prep corporations for lobbying to keep it an expensive hassle to file your taxes. (Looking at you, TurboTax. You too, H&R Block.) But it doesn't have to be this way. In fact, free filing has been implemented in many other countries.

And I've urged the IRS to make free filing a reality — in legislation, in hearings, in letters, in explainers, you name it. People like you have raised your voices, too — in petitions, on social media, in messages to elected officials, and more.

Last year, we took a big stride up the hill. Democrats included funding for the program in the Inflation Reduction Act, along with support for the IRS to crack down on wealthy tax cheats (another important boulder).

And this week, we found out that the IRS will launch a pilot program for free tax filing next year, with room for the program to grow in future years.

I'm going to stay on this and make sure Americans don't have to waste time and money with big tax prep corporations.

We've been pushing this boulder up the hill side by side, Danielle. I'm deeply grateful for your partnership, and I wouldn't be in this fight without grassroots support.

Let's stay in the fight and keep the good news coming. Can you pitch in $15, or any amount that makes sense for you today, to support our re-election campaign and help grow our grassroots movement for the big, bold reforms we need? This is how we make change.
