The project, known as Direct File and launched by the IRS on a limited basis in 12 states this tax season, is in its pilot phase. Derek Wheeler, director of the Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic at the University of Florida’s Law School, said his clinic has referred less than a dozen clients to the Direct File system. His legal clinic has partnered with the IRS and selectively identifies clients who may be eligible to submit their taxes through the program. One of their biggest criticisms is that free tax prep services already exist for people of all income brackets and developing the Direct File system will end up costing taxpayers billions of dollars. But after using Direct File, she said, “I feel foolish for paying all that money every year.”

Editor’s Note: Dominic Erdozain is a historian and the author of ”One Nation Under Guns.” Follow him on X @domerdozain. Burned out and disillusioned, Murdock now lives in Scotland, where freedom is a reality and nobody lives in fear of guns. The death toll is growing because the weapons now available, and the right to carry them outside the home, are new. With Reagan’s arrival in the White House in 1981, the conversation shifted from controlling guns to “protecting” gun owners. A weapon that vastly exceeds the killing power of the Tommy guns banned in the 1930s is affordable and freely accessible.

REUTERS/Matt Mills McKnight Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Sept 5 (Reuters Breakingviews) - “Exodus Operations have officially begun” is the self-important way organizers described allowing over 60,000 mud-bound attendees to leave Burning Man on Monday. The anarcho-arts festival’s rain-soaked disaster highlights the tension between its founding libertarian ethos and smoothly running operations of this size. Burning Man is the latest, after freak rainstorms turned its usually arid desert venue into a mud-pit on Saturday, necessitating a shelter-in-place order. They do not reflect the views of Reuters News, which, under the Trust Principles, is committed to integrity, independence, and freedom from bias.
