"Among the team’s achievements was an #IRS program that allowed #taxpayers to file directly with the agency for #free instead of paying for filing software from Intuit TurboTax. #18F employees were also responsible for maintaining the government’s #weather alerts and #forecasts service. It’s unclear if IRS Direct File or weather.gov will continue to operate."

DOGE fires government efficiency team

The Trump administration terminated 90 technologists last Friday at the General Services Administration (GSA) who were working to modernize the software the federal government runs on, according to Reuters. The Atlantic reported that members of the GSA team known as 18F were informed their roles had been “abolished as part of an agency reduction-in-force.”

Among the team’s achievements was an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) program that allowed taxpayers to file directly with the agency for free instead of paying for filing software from Intuit TurboTax. 18F employees were also responsible for maintaining the government’s weather alerts and forecasts service. It’s unclear if IRS Direct File or weather.gov will continue to operate.
