Taxpayers paying millions since demise of free TeleFile
July 25, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Low and middle income taxpayers are paying millions of dollars in fees to file their tax returns because of an IRS decision to end a free telephone filing service, an inspector general said Tuesday.
''Once again the IRS has made a taxpayer service decision based on questionable data,'' said J. Russell George.
George said about 2 million taxpayers used the TeleFile program in 2005, when the IRS, citing declining use and rising costs, shut it down.
