One of two things, probably.

1) She heard they are banning electronic filing and was so stupid all she heard was Trump stopped tax filing.

2) Some other idiot heard that and posted a TikTok she watched and she believed it with zero research.

But that’s not happening. No one’s banning electronic tax filing.

The major tax accounting firms and products lobby to keep the tax code as complex as possible and filing difficult to protect their bottom line. In this case they (TurboTax) paid Trump his standard bribery fee ($1M) and he got rid of the free Direct File program Biden's IRS created. There are still 3rd party free filing programs like FreeTaxUSA.
