Your Tax Filing Could Be Free if Musk’s DOGE Commission Gets Its Way

Leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), now officially under the United States Digital Services, Elon Musk has promoted the creation of a mobile app for Americans to file their taxes for free. This would add to the options the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) already offers for free tax filing.

What Musk’s DOGE Commission Is Considering
During a November DOGE meeting, The Washington Post reported that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who has since parted ways with the DOGE efforts, discussed the possibility of creating a mobile app so Americans could file their federal taxes for free. Musk posted on X in November about his desire to simplify the tax code, so this would be a step in that direction.

However, that’s easier said than done. The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) consists of more than 4 million words, so creating an app that not only encompasses the entire code but also calculates taxes based on the code is quite an undertaking.
