A comment on IRS Reforms Free File Program, Drops Agreement Not to Compete with TurboTax. Parent comment
"there should only be one optimal answer once the facts are already created"
Yes, there should be. The reason why accountants can make a living filing taxes for fee is because that optimal answer is often difficult to find.
"Paying for tax filing itself is basically a low-level scam."
Not for me it isn't. If a private company can create a service that makes filing a lot easier and safer, I will gladly pay the fee.
