What makes you think that a division of the federal government is going to get it right the first time? I'm being serious (not snarky). Have you ever worked with the federal government? I have (as a contractor) and I was constantly amazed (not in a good way).

It's literally not their first time. It launched for tax year 2023.

I still wouldn't use it this early.

I completely agree. I pay like 80 or 90 bucks a year to file with TurboTax and can afford to pay that for a few years while the kinks are worked out on the IRS system.

Just use FreeTaxUSA. It does everything TurboTax does and costs nothing except for state filings. Stop giving intuit your money so they can lobby to continue making the tax code complicated…

It always amuses my how indoctrinated Americans are.

Put another way, if spending maybe $100, maybe even a couple hundred bucks, might save you thousands, is it really that bad of an idea? For the first few years?

[bastawhiz]

TurboTax has never saved me hundreds let alone thousands.
