David Ransom
David Ransom is a veteran tax lobbyist representing an alliance of tax preparation companies, including H&R Block and TurboTax. He was notably involved in lobbying efforts aimed at terminating the Internal Revenue Service's Direct File program, a free tax-filing initiative that has gained popularity among users. Despite the Senate's decision to drop the House-passed provision that would have ended Direct File, Ransom remains optimistic about future changes that could favor the tax prep industry.
