That's not the point.



TurboTax offered “free” filing but then introduced the same $39.99 fee in delivering your refund to you, IF you wanted it directly deposited.
Then they offered free options like a TurboTax loadable card or some other stupid gift card bullshit.
More marketing.

Exactly, the government has handed the public over for predatory marketing by garbage tier companies to keep lobbying interests happy.

what's not the point?

a very small % of americans eligible for filing free tax returns... actually end up with a free service like they could.

this legislation does 2 things.
1: allows private sector to run and progress the on-line filing source. instead of the IRS spending tax dollars on it and putting private sector out of business at the same time.
2: "requires" private sector to still offer free filing service to any and everyone previously allowed to by law.

the only thing that changes is that we spend less tax dollars destroying h&r block

It costs next to nothing, and h&r block deserves to die off.
