Could I just call out David Williams, Intuit's Chief Tax Officer, for making statements that range from disingenuous to despicable. I mean, he may coach his kid's little league team and be a wonderful co-worker, but could you imagine having a job that required you to actively lie and make tens of millions of people worse off so that you can make more money?
'And rather than download people’s financial data from government sources — which Mr. Williams said might not be very secure — Intuit prefers to connect its systems to banks, employers and other private companies to obtain taxpayers’ information, he said.'
David Williams knows perfectly well that every US taxpayer's tax transcript (showing W-2s, 1099s, etc.) are available online at http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript . Intuit is using security as a cover for their regulatory capture <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture> of the US tax paying system.
