The IRS said in a new court filing that clergy and houses of worship should be allowed to make political endorsements,
-- abandoning an 71-year-old tax policy that banned the mixing of religion and politics.

Nonprofits should be allowed to make political endorsements and not lose their tax exemption,

The IRS open sourced much of its incredibly popular Direct File software as the future of the free tax filing program is at risk of being killed by Intuit’s lobbyists and Donald Trump’s megabill.
Meanwhile, several top developers who worked on the software have left the government and joined a project to explore the “future of tax filing” in the private sector
