So...? There are 131,000,000 households in the US. Something like 40% of people surveyed use tax prep software (at $50+/year). That's a massive waste of money

Someone asked why it was happening in the US. I pointed out why. That not everyone agrees that it is a waste, or that society would find a better use for it is of course going to be a matter of opinion. Which some folks are heavily incentivized to weigh in on (to the point it may be a large percentage or all of their net worth), and to others it’s $50/yr.
