TurboTax owned buy intuit, part of H&R block who has partnered with credit karma. Everything is a monopoly now
Yeah I saw Monopoly Fortnite I wonder what is next?
I know, what are they making next? Lord of the Rings edition? Star Wars? Oh the humanities.
What happened to the title of this?? Jeez
“The IRS Tax Filing Software that TurboTax Is Trying to Kill Just Got Open Sourced” might be more clear but headlines try to cut those sorts of words out, unfortunately at the cost of readability sometimes.
They accidentally included 8 verbs. (tax, filing, is, trying, kill, got, open, sourced)
Suck a bag of dicks, TurboTax

The more money you pay someone to find the loop holes in the tax code the less likely you are to support out government and its war machine.

Lmao, nice
really good article with a couple surprises in there.
"some people speculated that, because of the political pressure against it, its release must have been an act of resistance by someone within the IRS. But the open sourcing of the program was always part of the plan, and was required by a law called the SHARE IT Act. It happened “fully above board, which is honestly more of a feat!,” Given told 404 Media. “This has been in the works since last year.”
Vinton told 404 Media in a phone call that the open sourcing of Direct File “is just good government.”
“All code paid for by taxpayer dollars should be open source, available for comment, for feedback, for people to build on and for people in other agencies to replicate. It saves everyone money and it is our [taxpayers’] IP,” she said. “This is just good government and should absolutely be the standard that government technologists are held to.”"
