Do we have a long-term transformation of IRS Tax Kiosk Closures?

Quote

Like IRS Tax Kiosk Closures are here to stay. Does anybody have the clue as to whether this change was a long-term one? I know that they are merely trying to save money, but that makes me nervous. I got used to the comfort of kiosks, and now, will they be completely removed forever? What is expected to happen to the taxpayers in the future- do they still expect to have access to their tax information and file without these kiosks?
