Just read that the us tried to change to simple online tax forms like we have in australia and it was blocked by lobbyists on the grounds that h&r block would lose profits.

I have been using the same tax software company for years, and their product has done nothing but get better and better. I filed my taxes this year in under 30 minutes. In the past, it has taken multiple hours. I can't imagine the federal government would make their product better over time. If they really wanted to make tax filing simple, then they need to unfuck the tax code.

/e also, why do you hate wetlands?

In australia tax generally takes 10-15 minutes unless you have a non typical tax setup, mine requires accountants but I still feel like forcing everyone to use trash tier tax hacks like h&r block is messed up.

America, where corporations and their CEO's matter more than people.

Any lobbyist matters more than people.
