Personal tax software and solutions should be freely available. Intuit legally bribes politicians in the USA to go against a simple and free tax solutions, like most 1st world counties. I cannot support or endorse them by any means.

Intuit requires manually entry while the governing bodies like IRS or your state treasury already has that information and can per-populate the information. This feature would be great and reducing input errors and wasted time on redundancy. Taxes are already paying for this automation at the those entities. Why not just add on the last mile?

Last time I used Intuit, it was littered with delayed transactions timers to social engineer the idea that, "the tax system is complete and our software is working extra hard to get you the best tax breaks." Just filling out the forms and submitting the digitally takes a little more time than Inuit's manual entry system and worth it for not funding Intutit's legal political bribes.



I get all of that, the company is evil and so on. I just think it's a good product.
