The joke might be in there as while AI cannot do your taxes today, we are hopefully not too far off.

Go to the HR office at your job and tell them you want to change your W-4. Change your status to exempt and withholding allowances to zero. Then just don't file a tax return anymore. You get more money every month and Trump and his IRS can go fuck themselves.
I'll stick to FreeTaxUsa even if they charge me. Fuck Intuit.
Put every manager of TurboTax in prison as a traitor.
Crowdfund the airfare to El Salvador?
Or just put a cap on donations and block corporate donations?
that would have been reasonable 20 years ago.
I think people have to understand that we've entered a different era. The rich have gotten richer and become insanely powerful and "the game" has gone on for so long all the rules have been slightly bend to allow them to become more rich and powerful. If you continue to "be sensible" and ask if you may nibble around the edges, all you get is fascism. It's inevitable. So first you have to destroy them and their power, then you can reform the system. Reforming the system now, even if you could, won't do anything.
If you believe everything should come with a price, you should vote for those who will give you the most money for voting for them, which is probably the democrats.
Not filing is still free.
So, just so I get this right, it's no longer possible to file your taxes for free anymore?
Not exactly.
There's still freefile (where private companies that offer tax prep software give away free access to people, usually within certain limits such as a maximum yearly income or complexity, such as only W2s, but not W2s and also investment income) but Direct File, which is where the IRS was essentially just making their own proper, standardized software to do what these private companies would, that would be entirely made for and offered by the government for free, is the thing being potentially shut down here.
Hypocrite warmongering Robbie Reich forgets to mention Intuit Inc always pays more than 70% to Dems.
Funniest part is how they're bribing the government with the money they took from customers. Now they can take more money from customers, which is more money for bribes.
It also means they didn't need to charge customers the prices they charged, since they have enough money to operate their business and bribe politicians.
It's like, you're paying them to work against you.
So backwards, but that's by design. Don't be a useful idiot.
