    I don’t know any EU country, that doesn’t do the taxes for their employed citizens. You normally only need to amend your taxes for stuff outside of your salary. The US truly is not a first world country it seems.

      No thanks, cannibalism is disgusting. I won’t be eating any people as long as planet Earth has plenty of tasty animals that feed primarily on vegetation.

      If you meant to suggest that the person should be murdered, just say that instead of suggesting more disgusting things like cannibalism.

      The words came from the dick. It’s just that technically the words did come out of his mouth.

    Fuck. I used it for the first time last year and it was incredibly easy. Now I have to go back to being charged by TurboTax for something that should be automatic and free.

          I believe it’s $15 for state filing but free otherwise. Even this free IRS program would have you file state taxes separately.

          I used CreditKarma the entire time they offered their program and tried CashApp after they bought it from CK. I believe it’s still completely free but the process is annoying as you have to at least partially use the CashApp app on your phone to log in.

          Federal is free, state is reasonably cheap.

          One thing I didn’t mention, TurboTax has forgotten our historical tax information twice. That’s when we finally kicked them to the curb. Freetaxusa has been solid and quicker to use. Plus a few Intuit. Oh and ban lobbying already.

            OVER HALF the States have the software already installed to be able to provide FREE state filing DIRECTLY on their websites…but can’t because they’re trapped in a contract with Intuit/The “Free-File” Alliance

        If you’re owed a refund, it’ll be your problem as they fired most of their state and it’ll take 3 months to process

    We’re at the point in wealth concentration where you can just look at someone and tell when they think poor people should be slaves. He looks like the Monopoly Man.

    Seems like a good time to stop paying taxes.

    Wouldn’t that be a cool boycott against this administration? No taxation without representation as they used to say…

    “You’ve heard of Direct File, that’s gone,” Long said. “Big beautiful Billy wiped that out. I don’t care about Direct File. I care about direct audit.”

    Jesus i thought he was calling himself “big beautiful Billy” in the 3rd person the way they used their capitulation in that quote lol

    Billy Long, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), is under increased scrutiny following disclosures that he used recent campaign donations to repay a personal loan from his unsuccessful 2022 Senate campaign.

    https://ifindtaxpro.com/tax-blog/trumps-irs-nominee-billy-long-faces-scrutiny-over-campaign-funds-and-donor-ties/

    President Donald Trump’s choice for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) director just had his six-figure debt paid off by campaign donors whose firms have significant, often contentious business before the tax agency he would lead, according to federal records reviewed by the Lever.

    In new campaign finance filings, Long disclosed an outstanding personal loan of $130,000 that he had made to his failed 2022 US Senate campaign. The dormant Senate campaign committee had raised less than $36,000 in the last two years, which could have forced Long to absorb the losses on the loan.

    But after Trump named Long to head the IRS, the committee suddenly raked in nearly $137,000 in less than three weeks in January — money that Long then used to remunerate himself, according to disclosure documents filed this week.

    At least one-third of the money came from donors working at firms in the tax consultancy industry or involved in major tax-related legal battles.

    Note that last one, and how Long is moving budget from free filing to auditing support.
