A bipartisan group in Congress wants to make it harder for you to do taxes

The article has almost nothing to do with the text of the bill. It looks like the author read a sensational blog post and sensationalized it further.

A subsection of the bill just says that the IRS Free File Program will continue. This doesn't make it harder to do your taxes, nor does it make return free filing illegal (the most sensational of the author's feverish claims, which he goes on about at length). This keeps the status quo.
