This is terrible news for consumers and tax payers in the United States. I was considering filing this year with Credit Karma because it is free. TurboTax can offer a free filing all they like, but 1) it's very limited; 2) last I checked, state filing still cost money; and 3) they inundate you on every other page about paying for some level of filing. Since the new tax laws went into effect, I've had to pay each year (on the order of thousands more, than what I had to pay during the Obama years). That plus having to pay to file (or having to learn all of the forms and do it myself) is quite the stab in the back for a middle-class consumer like myself.
