Of course, this saved americans money. The only thing they like doing more than starving poor Americans, is making people pay more for shit so their corporate owners make money.
Thanks Intuit. Absolutely not using TurboTax ever again since I learned they lobbied to maintain the complicated tax code so they get to keep selling their software.
That effort is what finally pushed me to the super sketchy-sounding freetaxusa. Its actually been great for the last few years - easier than TurboTax and cheaper
