It looks like the IRS is moving to test their own preparing/filing software for the 2023 tax year. Hopefully in 4-5 years, TurboTax and HR Block will only be needed for people with complicated tax situations, while the remaining 90% of the population can use the IRS's application. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/irs-moves-forward-with...

No one with a complicated tax situation should ever consider H&R Block, it's almost monkey and a dartboard level of skilled tax prep. TurboTax at least you can drive and as a semi-educated tax payer do it right. Everyone is looking forward to the IRS providing a baseline service except the tax industry.
