So you would rather get rid of the government, over a business that bribes officials and sells products that are only needed due to their bribes.

It's always surprising when people don't see that the government, which can take your money and throw you in jail if you don't let them, or send you to war, is entirely blameless in any alleged bribing.

#15About half of Americans pay no effective tax anyway, why not set a threshold say 100k a year and if you are under it you owe no federal taxes and don't have to file anything. Can make up the difference by taxing capital gains at the same rate as W2 income.
Does the IRS have way to know all of your income?
Your bank, employer, cash app and brokerage all report to the IRS so unless you are a drug dealer or similar, yeah for the most part they already know it.
Heres the best bit, people working under the table are going to be making less than 100k generally so it doesn't really matter, anyone making real money will be making big enough waves in the financial system to be detected, small movements of cash doesn't matter at this scale. The highly taxed routes (capital gains) are also already highly policed for tax purposes so no transition is needed there.

Correction: they want all poor idiots (I include myself here) to feel like taxes are a punishment so that they will want to vote Republican.
Not just the poor idiots, but the rich idiots too. Paying taxes isn't so bad once you realize that money was spoken for from the minute it hit your checking account.
Paying taxes is (mostly) fine. Filing taxes sucks. Politicians don't understand that making the filing process suck won't change how I feel about paying taxes. It will change how I feel about them.

#17It's not really an answer to TurboTax, because it's not good enough. I'll continue to pay Intuit for now. It's relatively speaking a small price to pay for something done well.

What is an example of something that TurboTax does better?

State taxes as well. The IRS didn't partner with individual states for this initiative. They also don't have limits on interest income or household income, which make this worthless for people who file high income returns.

Your comments set off my spidey senses; they don't pass the sniff-test for a trustworthy, well-informed, pro-Intuit stance, especially on message board catering to tech.
Intuit practices the classic rent-seeking behaviors endemic to late stage capitalism. Who is this helping? They also actively lobby against tax reform because it's an existential threat to their cash cow.
