As Congress raced to pass long-stalled health, climate and tax legislation this summer, Democrats advanced the country’s latest update to U.S. tax laws, giving the IRS $15 million to design a free “e-file” tax return system.

That process usually consists of filling out different kinds of forms, using a piece of software or interacting with agents in the tax preparation industry.
