in norway (and i guess other civilized countries), the tax forms is delivered out digitally and pre-filled with everything the government knows about you. most of the time you don't have to do anything to them, they are considered as filed if you don't do anything by the due date.

i think most yosposters would still have to do more than this, due to business taxes and stock holdings and poo poo

yes the american system is barbaric, but come on, all of us were gonna suffer either wayq

NYC got tired of olds/poors/people who can't speak english getting hosed by predatory tax preparers, so if you make $66k/year or less they'll have someone do them for you, for free

that's a real good idea and should probably be federal policy. i don't think the tax preparer lobby would mind all that much either since they make their money off people making more than that anyways

tax preparers make tons of money off the low end. getting your taxes done costs about the same whether you make $30k or $300k.

literally anything more complicated than 1040ez is a gold mine for them. even 1040ez is lucrative if they can loan you your refund up front.

even if they don't have to, they would choose to

offering 1040ez filing for free is a way to build ~*~ brand loyalty ~*~ in young people, and also a great opportunity to upsell

TurboTax free literally says "here's last years info, want us to carry it over for you?*"

*only supported if you pay, hail capitalism

then it slowly moves progress bars backward and deletes everything in the most insulting and frustrating way

TaxAct has gotten shittier every year, and this year it is doing this:



I have no loving clue where this magic $4800 in "Other Income" is coming from, after going through their wizard and all my statements. I think this software and my taxes are... a POS!

intuit may be an awful company, but turbotax is actually a pretty good product. my taxes are fairly complicated sometimes and it handles them pretty well.

I used to use Tax Slayer because I saw it on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s car.

It was simple and barebones and looked a little web 1.5-ish but was cheap and didn’t beg me to upgrade. but then Dale Earnhardt Jr. stopped winning races so they made it fancy and charged for stuff so I just jump to whatever is free.

Right now if you’re a Capital One customer you can file HR Block Premium return for free, just log into your CapOne account and click the link. I’m doing that this year.
