"18 months of credit monitoring? Crap, I've already got two of these."

Even more sadistic, have an entire batch dedicated to ONE of those ideas and see which company has the least poor execution.

Maybe if YC is their /only/ investor? I'm not familiar with how YC's initial investment is structured. But your scenario won't exist for many (close enough to all?) startups who ha…

IRS requires you to authenticate yourself via one of two mechanisms if you efile (regardless of who you do your taxes with): 1) Prior year AGI 2) Electronic filing PIN They can als…

The whole image is being stretched vertically in CSS ("background-size: 104% 160%;"). You can see the same distortion on the man's arm, the phone, and the pencil holder. Definitely…

It looks like the author for Metrics is also the author (one of the authors) of Dropwizard.

Everyone I know big enough to run a load balancer has had this happen. The next step in evolution is to have your script look for specific text on a page, which will change 24 mont…

I can't help but think these straight-laced, shirt & tie, crewcut environments aren't attractive to the type of diverse skillsets they really need.

I never advocated banning anything. The argument is closer to "cheap, high calorie low nutrition food is leading to an obesity epidemic." Tax fraud costs taxpayers billions of doll…

Oh believe me I don't either. It's horrible an industry can crop up to assist with government inefficiency and eventually become powerful enough to keep the inefficiency in place.

Lots of speculation in this thread. Here's my hypothesis. Federal tax return fraud is huge. It's a growing problem that the IRS is struggling to cope with and it's been going on fo…

It's trivial for the IRS. They either cut a check (and mail it to an address) or direct deposit it in to an account. Most fraudsters opt for the check option... so much so in fact …

Unfortunately there isn't an existing easy way to find out if your SSN has been used to file a tax return. When you file your taxes via efile[0], the IRS system will reject the tax…

I would guess this is happening largely because Intuit started offering free state filing to a greater subset of users. This has been an ongoing problem at the federal level, but j…

No you're not held liable, but it's a giant pain in the butt proving that you're the actual owner of your SSN. It also significantly delays your refund (if you're due a refund).

There many tax software companies. The vast majority of them do not actively lobby against tax filing simplification.
