yes i am trying to find how they `lobbied against tax code simplification.` . All the links are pointing to how they lobbied against govt run tax filing system. eg: https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-turbotax-20-year-fight-to-stop-americans-from-filing-their-taxes-for-free https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-turbotax-20-year-f...
- micromacrofoot 5y agoAgain, this isn't hard. You can't oppose an argument by coming here and saying "it wasn't in the first google result" Same source, different article mentions Intuit's opposition to return-free filing: https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-maker-of-turbotax-fought-free-simple-tax-filing https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-maker-of-turbotax...
- dominotw 5y ago> 1. Intuit's opposition to return-free filing > 2. lobbied against tax code simplification. 1 and 2 are different. yes? You are right i can tons of examples and articles for 1 but i am looking for 2 specifically. tax code simplification isn't the same a tax filing simplification. edit: Yes i am not saying its not simple. 'Tax code' means something specific, its not a generic standin for anything that has to do with taxes. Tax code has nothing do with tax filing itself. I am not sure how to explain this better.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoSo you're saying that return-free filing is not more simple? Going to end it the conversation here and log off for the day, nothing personal, it's just a waste of my time to connect the dots in such a painstakingly specific way.
