Like I said, the downside is that most people are lazy and will just fill out the form and send it in because they don't want to deal with it or think about it.

Like I said, the downside is that most people are lazy and will just fill out the form and send it in because they don't want to deal with it or think about it. You can't get most people to do simple math.
- jandrese 10y agoIsn't this a good thing? People shouldn't have to think about this stuff, there's no reason unless you are doing something special. If you have a simple tax return then why bother making everybody go through the motions of filling in the paperwork to calculate the same thing the government already knows? If you do have a more complicated situation then the prefilled form at least gives you a starting point.
- jakelazaroff 10y agoRight now, people are lazy and pay Intuit or H&R Block because they don't want to deal with it or think about it. How does allowing people to use a free tax return prefilled by the government make this worse?
