  1. I tried using this for my elderly fathers return. Crazy impossible to use. No way to determine if it is completed accurately. Yes, I agree that making it better would be preferable to elimination but that may not have been possible. Eventually they may put out a program that actually works as advertised.

    1. If you couldn’t use the free tax software – you weren’t very intelligent.

      It was extremely easy to use

    2. They’re never going to put such a program out, Donald.

      That would jeopardize the campaign contributions they get from the tax software companies.

      Trump doesn’t care about you.

  2. Does anyone notice the trend happening with all the cuts at the federal and state level? It seems programs designed to help the least of our people are the ones being cut, yet programs which benefit the few elite at the top of the food chain are not only not being cut, many are being expanded. It is only a matter of time that the impact of these policies are going to start to be felt by those in the middle and upper middle classes. FAFO time is very close to happening for many people who voted for Trump and Braun.

    1. They definitely did the FA, and they will certainly FO, but they will find some convoluted way to blame it on Biden. The ability to learn from mistakes is beyond this crowd.
