A lot of people dislike turbotax, but compared to what? HR Block which is basically a payday advance company at this point? I've done my taxes with turbotax for awhile now and haven't had any major issues. Maybe they are evil, but not enough for me to care considering I use it for like an hour or two once a year.
- jrochkind1 5y agoWell, the alternative the OP is about: > …There’s been proposals in Congress on and off for years, from people like Elizabeth Warren, to appropriate money to the for the IRS to do what it was thinking about doing back in the George W. Bush administration 20 years ago, which is to join many other developed wealthy countries in having an online filing process that’s free and offered by the government to all of us as citizens.

- jrochkind1 5y agoOK, you can disagree with the assignment of responsibility from OP (I'm happy to blame the politicians), either way that's the alternative we don't have but most similar countries do.
- missedthecue 5y agoPerhaps the tax system in the US is far more complicated in than it is in foreign countries. I am trained in UK tax law, but not in US law, although I do file taxes in the US. The UK system is far more straightforward than in the States. On account of this, the US tax system may not lend itself well to automatic pre-filing.
- bluSCALE4 5y agoA good example is CreditKarma. They came out with a great webapp and TurboTax immediately buys it and puts it behind a mobile app. They got rid of the webapp. Personally, I refused to even try the new version because I didn't want a mobile app.
