Good luck there is already hundreds of companies that offer free e filing, This is a losing proposition for them, competition has kept this free and there is no reason to use either H&R Block or Intuit. There is also no reason to pay a tax preparer or accountant to do your taxes, since you can easily do it yourself. I can understand for companies, and very wealthy people with tons of stocks, bonds, and IRAs etc. Then pay someone, but for the normal person who just works one job and doesn't do much trading or investing, then go onto the irs web site and choose one of the hundreds of free efile companies each year, they often have a limit of 62,000 anyway in gross income, so it's harder to find a free file if you make more money. They are going to try but this is a state by state issue.

I used taxslayer the last time I free filed, but I thought that I remember being more than only 13 companies. I don't want the government to fill anything in for me, however, because there's no way that they know everything about my deductions and credits and all the loopholes that many people want to use, if you just work a 9 to 5 job for one company then that sounds ok. I say keep it how it is now, and they've been lobbying for years, they probably think that they have a chance now because the Republican party is all about helping the private sector and having a small government.
