Credit Karma swooped into the game this year and offered free tax return filing.

The software worked well for me and my simple return, and expect it could work well for medium complexity problems as well.

I have no doubt that they will try to monitize in the future, but until they do, this seems like a good deal for consumers

It seems obvious that Credit Karma would try to monetize it by using your tax data to advertise credit cards and loans to you.

Just a little bit of surveillance capitalism to help you save money.
