Intuit: OK.
Intuits exec to its employees: Make this free system, but hide it from the public. Provide links that are broken, make sure it doesn't show up on search indexes.
Scott Cook and all those involved should have all of their assets seized. About as slimy as you can get as a person. Made billions off of scamming United States citizens.
- anonresearcher 5y agoI'm curious what the original deal was, because Intuit doesn't even have the free system anymore. This year, they "elected not to renew its participation in the IRS Free File Program." [1] [1] https://freefile.intuit.com/ https://freefile.intuit.com/
- josephd79 5y agoAllegedly the government had plans to make a completely free, simple way for you file your taxes electronically. Tax software companies knew if that took place their cash machines would die. They made an agreement with the government that they would provide a completely free simple way for individuals to file taxes electronically if the government wouldn't build their own. They technically did, they just made it pretty much impossible to find it. Broken links, hid it from search indexes etc.
