The IRS will make permanent the free electronic tax return filing system that it experimented with this year.
You're viewing a single thread.
Fuck all corpo scum! Intuit, TurboTax and H&R Block can all fuck right off! Corporate lobbying motherfuckers can burn in hell.
I filed for free with H&R Block.
...And Now you can file for free without them
And your financial information need never leave the IRS and be put in the hands of a private company.
a private company would never sell this data
No no, some of us enjoy struggling through page after page of attempts to push premium products and services, and never mind that these "free file" options generally don't cover both state and federal. But hey, yay for H&R, they really need the business, right?
I had to mail in my state taxes for NY due to NYC regulations, which I didn't know about since I've been using TurboTax for 7 years. I was only informed of this after I had filed my taxes federally using the IRS system. There is no way to just file your state taxes online, you have to do both and if you submit them a second time it just gets rejected.
It's good that they're doing this, but it caused a lot of headaches for me that I was unaware of.
Yeah but now H&R has all your financial information. It's "free" but that doesn't mean there is no cost.
after h&r block wrecked my taxes and cost me months of back and forth with the IRS, i take every possible opportunity to steer people away from them
i sat there and had to repeatedly correct the ancient walking corpse they hired part time to do tax filing as she kept entering wrong numbers on the computer. who knows wtf they did after i left
fuck h&r block. after that bullshit experience, i signed on with an actual business accountant and never had a single fuckup in 10+ years
I filed free with TT. But, will definitely plan on using the IRS system.
