Here is the chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce science and transportation committee, senators Maria Cantwell and ted cruz speaking on the floor after final passage. The house of representatives should quickly take it up and t pass it and send to the president s desk for signature. This legislation is a strong bipartisan that includes hundreds of priorities for senators and representatives both republican and democrat.

Thats our job, is to take votes, to try to make legislation better and to offer improvements to it, and that means amendments. Look, i understand in the house of representatives things operate a little bit differently. Youve got 435 people over tlchlt its a lot harder to have that. This is why weve always bragged about our status as the worlds greatest deliberative legislative body. On paper we are. Historically we certainly have been. Today we are not.

The hearing is two hours and 20 minutes. Chair Wyden Finance Committee will come to order. Today the Committee Meets to discuss tax Filing Season, which closed yesterday. I think thank commissioner werfel for being here at a busy time for everybody in the agency. There are lots of issues to discuss, and one that certainly is important to the American People is direct file. Anyone who denies that the direct file was a huge success, my guess is just living in another universe. It is open to a fairly small percentage of taxpayers, but the reviews it got from its initial users were overwhelmingly positive. It seems like a whole lot of people were very stunned that a federal agency, particularly one as frequently vilified as the irs, was able to build a helpful website that works. Tens of thousands of taxpayers who use direct file this year collectively save millions on fees that they wouldve paid to one of the tax software giants. Website is userfriendly. It is quick and easy to use and di
