This is why making it this easy is a win for the government. 99% of the people are lazy and will just let them do it, basically giving them free money.

Less money to Intuit and H&R Block and more in my pocket and my government's is a win to me. I'm all for productive businesses, but I'm sick of these tax companies influencing public policy and collecting rent by solving a problem that they are intentionally keeping alive.

Imagine a landscaper doing doughnuts on your lawn and then telling you to pay him to fix it, and that's roughly how I view Intuit.

All taxes are "free money". I see no problem with this.
