IRS Chief Says Direct File Is ‘Gone,’ Other Audit Tech Is Coming The Biden-era IRS free filing tool, Direct File, is “gone,” IRS Commissioner Billy Long said.

Last year, Direct File saved taxpayers $5.6 million in tax preparation costs by allowing people to file their taxes for FREE.

That’s why tax preparation companies like TurboTax and Intuit lobbied to get rid of it.

Trump just gave them their wish.

The fastball was consistently hitting 96 mph -- even touching 97 -- on the Ripken Stadium gun. The cool, calm, confident demeanor of the right-handed pitcher toeing the rubber was unmistakable.

Kyle Bradish was back.

A big step in his post-TJ recovery:

I haven’t followed this until about twenty minutes ago, but whether you’re a public figure or not, if you’re a cheating married person and you take the person you’re cheating with to a concert with 65,000 other people, doesn’t it have to be because you want to get caught?

That’s awesome!

Weird opinions circulating right now. This is a very good draft so far.

Basallo needs just 2 more home runs to match his season-high of 20.

Very impressive for the 20-year-old.

I love that!

Can you take a pic of your whole dvd shelf? That looks awesome!

Well here’s a sight for sore eyes…

The first of many over the next 12-18 months.

The Rays once led 6-0. The #Orioles won 22-8.

Quite a turn.

Today is day 76 of “90 deals in 90’days.” Now they are saying maybe something is going to happen by Labor Day. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Hey, it's here! My new book comes out today. Hope you like it. ❤

RHP Braxton Bragg (#Orioles' No. 15 prospect per MLB Pipeline) was reinstated from Double-A Chesapeake's IL today after dealing with a right forearm strain.

The 24-year-old then tossed 4 1/3 innings of 1-run ball at Erie. His Double-A ERA is now 1.85 over 39 innings.

The only time Trump promised that something big was going to happen in two weeks and it actually came true was late December 2020.

I was annoyed by SMB2 erasure but here is proof that Phanto lives — and loves his key

#Orioles closer Félix Bautista hit 100 mph on this sinker that got Angels' Mike Trout to fly out for the 2nd out of the top of the 9th inning.

1st time Bautista has hit 100 since Tommy John surgery.
