A comment on IRS tests free e-filing system that could compete with tax prep giants. Parent comment
It’s been like this for more than 10 years
In the last 5 the government made everything electronic
Every invoice or receipt any business or individual issues, is digitally signed by the government
If you are a single wage earner, you don’t even need to file your return, your prepaid taxes exactly match your overall tax burden
You can always choose to file if you want to or need to in case your situation is more nuanced
But most people don’t really need to do anything
