Amen to that. I use turbo tax but the sooner I never give then another dollar so much the better.

Switch to FreeTaxFileUSA for now if you’re not willing to go for this open source project.

Not only is it cheaper, more importantly, you’re not giving money that’s going towards maintaining the tax code that prevents the government from “competing” with TurboTax.

Obviously the Government already has what it needs to pretty much do all of your taxes, and they already must do this anyway. They could ask you like 5 short questions and your taxes would be done…they already have all your info.

Stop paying the lobbyists to continue lobbying against your interests. Start getting in the habit of calling or emailing your reps around tax time.
