And you would trust the IRS software to provide all the savings possible? Their job is literally to collect as much money as possible from people to cover for the that new $520MM Biden pledged to give Ukraine for green energy, lol.

What OP is proposing is how most of the modern world handles tax collection. > Their job is literally to collect as much money as possible from people The tax code clearly dictates how much is owed by each individual. Now a private company like TurboTax is literally out to get as much money as possible because that's how private companies work.

Their job is literally to collect money owed to the government based on income. If one is making all their income from wages it is not complicated to figure out. I'm sure people will test it and write about the accuracy. And nothing is stopping you from using a private tax prep option. Regarding your knee-jerk partisanship: I don't think it's going to directly to Biden and Ukraine yet, the country is still paying off Donald's 2020 trillions of dollars in gifts to corporations that already had three years with enough tax cut money to do massive stock buybacks.

I pity the fool who trusts Intuit to offer a quality product in a market with a captive and serially misinformed audience. Then again, it seems like you'd fall into the latter category. I don't care how you file your taxes, but take off the tinfoil hat, people are staring.

Even if I didn't trust the bureaucrats to follow their nature and apply the rules, I still want this. It's not like I couldn't still get a CPA or additional tax software to find problems. The IRS literally already has 90%+ of the information I need to gather and manually enter already - there's no reason for them not to provide a prefilled tax form as a starting point. Its just the Intuit (et al) are just a bunch of rent-seeking leeches that lobby to keep their obsolete business model relevant by law.
