Intuit is going to try to do what benefits them. The IRS are the corrupt party in this transaction.

It is telling that you think this is even remotely similar to a justification. And in the case of bribery, both parties are at fault - the one giving, and the one receiving the bribe.

How does that excuse Intuit? They are still thugs, who are controlling IRS in this case. Corruption is still corruption, on both ends.

Intuit isn't the one with the guns. The people with the guns are always the thugs.
