Re: 'tis the Merkin way
Right - it's incredible how the United Corporations of America can blackmail the government "of the people, by the people, for the people" into not offering citizens services they pay for with their taxes.
Pharma companies hindered any government large deal to lower pharmaceutical prices, tax software ones don't allow for government-issued software to file governments papers???
Here you have free software to file your papers whatever amount you have to declare. It's a basic software and won't help you much but automating some computations and performing some checks, but if you know what you are doing, or can take time to understand the instructions. it's fully functional.
And you need it only if you are not an employee, or an employee with properties/other source of incomes beyond given limits. Otherwise you get a web pre-compiled model which you can accept or modify with additional information, and submit it on the revenue service web site.
Once you looked at USA as the cutting-edge country, not it looks more and more one that has lost its compass long ago, and where citizens rights are trumped over by a few lobbies interests - and that means "democracy" gave way to an "oligarchy" - and no lipstick on the pig face will help.
