The US income tax system is capitalism run amok. Instead of the government automatically sending you a refund or a bill, we pay Turbo Tax or H&R Block for tax prep. Then the government forces them to make free versions. Now both have stopped free version https://news.bloomberglaw…

Intuit is pulling out of the Free File program after 20 years. Will the IRS now create its own app? Seems like the time is ripe. https://www.intuit.com/...

I've spent years fighting the tax prep industry's schemes to sabotage Free File. The IRS and FTC are finally cracking down on @TurboTax, so they're quitting. The IRS should not rely on giant companies that rip off taxpayers for essential filing services. https://news.bloomberglaw…
