Paragraph 1 & 2 are definitely relate though. I just want to pay the bill and TurboTax has a line that says something to the effect of "Yes! You can pay the service if you use a US-based bank" while you go to the next screen where credit card is the only option and they will not accept cards from US-based banks with a foreign address. I canceled my old credit card when it expired because I wanted to simplify my life having less accounts, to not support their business and the shoddy support on Firefox/Linux from them, and to just have less entities tracking me. Now I have to go beg for a favor from family in the US to borrow credit card details pay for the privilege to give the government money. I tried doing taxes by hand two years ago and it was such a mess and I couldn't verify correctness with my situation that I had to bow out to a service.
