OMG. But the problem already exists. It's THEM. Intuit. Also, one could say that Intuit wouldn't be left out, they still could create software that could connect directly to IRS, and they have great experience to offer the best solutions to taxpayers (do they?). But of course, then they would have the 'captive market' experience they have now. I'm Spanish, and, although our tax filling system is not the best, it still baffles me how far behind us is the US one in this case. Tax filling season is near, and for most people (if you don't have investments or weird tax deductions), you just ask for a pre-filled "draft" from the IRS equivalent. You review your salary and taxes numbers on the web site (nowadays most of the info is sent directly from banks and so on), and just hit "Accept" if it looks OK. If something's weird just re-fill the form numbers.
