You can refer to TurboTax all you like, but you just basically admitted that you're committing tax fraud and challenging society to catch you.

I think the point is that there are many grey areas, and the IRS is likely to come down the side of more taxes while the third party is likely to try more on your behalf.

Tax fraud is a super gray area. I will be surprised to find any person who has not violated IRS regulation.

Ok, is anything in this proposal preventing you from using Turbo-tax, your accountant, or just doing it yourself by hand?

No one is forcing you to use the IRS pre-filled form. What is the problem? Let the "idiots" pay extra taxes if they want and smart guys like you can spend extra time and money doing your taxes the old way.

Well, the problem with what happens what government has pre-filled on the form differs from my interpretation!

As a matter of principle I am even opposed to tax deductions at source. Each individual must sign a check at the end of the year/month and pay taxes. This makes sure he feels the pinch.

That's it, blame TurboTax.
