This complaint comes up every year and is kind of frustrating. You can file your taxes by hand in good faith and the IRS will correct any errors and send you an updated bill if you missed something. Stop paying TurboTax and do the mild 8th grade math yourselfhttps://twitter.com/maxberger/status/1394337392170045445 …

I get that regulatory capture sucks, but you can defeat this evil corporate villain by multiplying a number by 0.92 by yourself instead of paying TurboTax hundreds of dollars to do it. Empowering!

This is only true if I want to spend multiple days reading IRS publications to understand how I’m affected by recent changes to tax law and how to correctly report new situations I’m in this year. Otherwise I’ll make huge errors.

For most people that doesn't apply. The few it applies to should probably hire an accountant.

Fair enough. My (wrong?) understanding was that in a world without TurboTax-esque lobbying we might not have a system so complicated as to require an accountant to get it right.

There I gotta agree with you. It should at a minimum be set up so that the IRS calculates your taxes and sends you a pre-filled return.
