- demosthanos 2y agoThanks! It's also weird that that's buried on a webpage that they really don't want you to find anymore and not prominently displayed on the flyer they put out.
- whimsicalism 2y agoit might have been this limit only existed for last years pilot (but i guess still should have been in the flier)? i was also surprised i was having trouble finding reference to it but it's definitely a thing
- khuey 2y agoBased on those numbers it sounds like the limitation is more "Direct File can't handle the Additional Medicare Tax or overwithheld FICA yet" than a baseless exclusion of higher income taxpayers.
- whimsicalism 2y agogood to know, thank you! totally support excluding features if it helped them get to an earlier release for most taxpayers - but hopefully they go to it eventually
