I think the irs is piloting its own tax filing software this year.

I think it’s still in beta, but it’s a step in the right direction.

I was gonna say some snarky shit about govt software being ass but I think you’re right ultimately. It’s not perfect, it’ll probably suck, but it’s better than letting people like turbo tax profit off something we legally have to fucking do and is complicated for most people to do.

There are lots of other free options to help file out there however, I will say that.

Cant wait to try that. Real tired of the bullshit of dealing with tax prep software companies. Their bullshit, fake smiley happy cheery "were looking to do what we can to save you the most money". My ass they do.

Yeah, it’s so tiring figuring it all out. And I messaged an accountant that wanted like $700 to do my taxes.

What the hell!? I’d rather just make a mistake and over pay too much.
