6 thoughts on “IRS to look into setting up free electronic tax filing system

    1. Agreed.

      It is honestly ridiculous that I spend 1% of my small businesses annual revenue for tax services

  1. While we expect to see a secure registration, since the IRS has the data, the IRS form should populate the form with the data already known to IRS, such as the W-2 and 1099 series info gathered in huge volume by the national government already.

    1. Healthcare.gov is pretty damn seamless at this point….

      yes it was rolled out poorly during a time when the government had zero support staff and just outsourced it all… There is an entire branch of the government to support such things now…

  2. All of the big tax preparation companies offer free federal electronic filing, but you want to file state taxes TOO? That will cost you $$.

    I don’t know the number of times I filed the Feds electronically and then sent the state a paper form. I suspect states like Indiana have idea how much it really costs them to handle paper returns.

    Too bad Republican’s idea of lower taxes and less government also means defunding the tax police at the federal and state level. I guess if you are rich tax cheat, this system is great. It sucks to be the little guy in this scam.
