Tax filing is very complicated and ridden with risk if you don't check the right boxes. "there should only be one optimal answer once the facts are already created" Yes, there should be. The reason why accountants can make a living filing taxes for fee is because that optimal answer is often difficult to find. "Paying for tax filing itself is basically a low-level scam." Not for me it isn't. If a private company can create a service that makes filing a lot easier and safer, I will gladly pay the fee.
