      The words came from the dick. It’s just that technically the words did come out of his mouth.

    Fuck. I used it for the first time last year and it was incredibly easy. Now I have to go back to being charged by TurboTax for something that should be automatic and free.

          I believe it’s $15 for state filing but free otherwise. Even this free IRS program would have you file state taxes separately.

          I used CreditKarma the entire time they offered their program and tried CashApp after they bought it from CK. I believe it’s still completely free but the process is annoying as you have to at least partially use the CashApp app on your phone to log in.

          Federal is free, state is reasonably cheap.

          One thing I didn’t mention, TurboTax has forgotten our historical tax information twice. That’s when we finally kicked them to the curb. Freetaxusa has been solid and quicker to use. Plus a few Intuit. Oh and ban lobbying already.

            OVER HALF the States have the software already installed to be able to provide FREE state filing DIRECTLY on their websites…but can’t because they’re trapped in a contract with Intuit/The “Free-File” Alliance

        If you’re owed a refund, it’ll be your problem as they fired most of their state and it’ll take 3 months to process

    We’re at the point in wealth concentration where you can just look at someone and tell when they think poor people should be slaves. He looks like the Monopoly Man.

    “You’ve heard of Direct File, that’s gone,” Long said. “Big beautiful Billy wiped that out. I don’t care about Direct File. I care about direct audit.”

    Jesus i thought he was calling himself “big beautiful Billy” in the 3rd person the way they used their capitulation in that quote lol

    I don’t know any EU country, that doesn’t do the taxes for their employed citizens. You normally only need to amend your taxes for stuff outside of your salary. The US truly is not a first world country it seems.

      Almost all taxes are collected from the paycheck before you even get your hands on it. The filing is mostly for the tax return on the overpayment. They’ve already thought of it. How you gonna stop paying?

            Yeah… I thought about not paying taxes last April but I don’t want to draw unwanted attention to myself. Did the IRS have a bunch of people let go? Yes. Does that mean that they don’t have enough staff to realize I didn’t pay and come after me? Maybe I don’t want to find out. I’m self employed through my own LLC and I don’t know enough about taxes to do them on my own anymore and I have to pay someone to help me anyway, so the free software wouldn’t have helped much. Last April was the first time I had to do this, prior to that I’d been an employee at a company that withheld taxes.

      I mean, you don’t have your money, you bank does.

      Just change some numbers and “thank you for paying you taxes, a additional 50% tip has been automatically applied”
