Granted: Intuit sucks, H&R block sucks, they are blocking tax reform, they are evil, the tax system in the U.S. makes no sense. Having stipulated that, I do not understand why the government is creating a free product to compete with Turbotax, et al. instead of making tax returns unnecessary in the first place. I assume it is because it would have been much harder for Biden to sneak that change into the bill. But, sadly, nothing short of reform is an actual solution. And, I'm much less comfortable with the government spending tax dollars competing directly with a private company than I am with them legislating or regulating that company's reason for existing away. That feels like it's much closer to their remit.
