FREE Tax filing is SOCIALISM!
-People who SUPPORT Trump's Government buying a Stake in Intel!
If you support Free Tax Filing then you must support the Unconstitutional Anti-American Income Tax.
The Founding Fathers made a blood pact to NEVER do an income tax and ONLY raise money via Tariffs, which is the perfect and Godly way to generate tax revenues. Every president who has ever levied a national income tax has FAILED. And Trump isn't going to fail this nation by letting people pay that tax for free.
By abolishing the free filing provision, we are going to come one step closure to guaranteeing nobody (earning more than $500k/year) has to pay it again.
Oh there's still "IRS Free File", which is a different thing where you have to go through a middle man to get it while they try their damndest to "upgrade" you to the paid version. And presumably they got some kind of money from the US gov either way.
Direct File was a sane program that cut them out and let people file their taxes completely directly. The leeches lobbied against it.

When admitting, even to yourself, that you were wrong/duped feels worse than just dying, lol.
I try not to feel bad when I'm wrong. There is a whole trillion dollar set of apparatuses at work specifically evolved and designed to trick us into falling for it. I don't judge for being wrong, but for refusing to admit it when it's so clear it is sometimes flabbergasting. I've tried to see what they see to be fair to them, but they believe an election was stolen because somebody walked by a mailbox in Philly. I can't understand that level of guillibility if someone is willing to admit they are wrong.
I don’t think that’s it. Have you been on Twitter lately? Every decision he makes is followed by skews of pundits explaining why it’s actually a genius move and how what he’s doing is actually awesome, and without a thought the GOP supporters just eat it up. It’s absolutely nuts. I barely even see anybody pissed about the Epstein files anymore. The only people who supported him that don’t anymore seem to be the supernazis who consider him to be a puppet of Israel and “the Jews.” It’s absolutely fucked.
the pundits are paid to do that
Anything and everything to hurt Americans.
Hey guys. If I described to you an entity that did nothing but harm average Americans, would you consider that entity to be an enemy of the United States of America?
Yeah, but, hear me out....what if I told you you're now allowed to be openly racist?
And openly transphobic? Would that sweeten the pot?
That depends, can I cosplay as military and send browns to concentration camps too? For more than I currently make as with a Bachelor's degree and over 10 years experience?
Ew. Unless your bachelor's is from a for-profit university or a Bible college, that's going to set you back.
Best I can do is for you to LARP as a 2A activist. No pay but you get to feel like you're one of the special ones. At least until we don't need you anymore.
And bail you out for treason?
Don’t worry, maga americans will find some mind bending justification for this. They are a cult.

My Dad told me during a ride in his truck that he was voting for Trump again because he lowered prices for things in his first term and thought he'd do it again. Every bit of news I have seen of him since is shit that's making Dads financial situation worse.
Fuck your dad.
No offense.
I don't really blame my Dad for it, he's in a pretty bad spot money-wise. He has to support him, my stepmom, my sister, my two stepsisters PLUS the newborn twins one of them just had, my little brother, my cousin that lives with us, two dogs, a turtle, AND myself whenever I come over. We had so many people living with us at one point he had to set up some new walls and doors in what used to be my little brothers toy room to turn it into two separate bedrooms.
He voted for Trump entirely because of his belief that if he became president again, we would be as financially stable as we were when he was first president. Back when we could afford going on a camping trip twice a year, back when our fridge was regularly stocked with ingredients to make our own lunches, back when he could afford to buy a whole 200$ game console for my birthday, ect. That hasn't ended up happening and every time I get a glimpse at the news he's not any closer to doing that. If my Dad was ever a "Trump supporter" I doubt he is now.

What prices did he lower? I thought you guys were having a pandemic and that he was riding on Obama's economy.
I wouldn't know cause I was 12 when he first got elected, too busy playing my PS3 and talking with my friends on Google+ to check the current state of the economy.

Sigh. I used Direct File last year and it was great. Back to FreeTaxUSA I guess. The least shitty option I'm aware of.
You can still use free fillable forms, you can fill out the raw tax forms yourself online and can submit them online there. Not the best UI, it's literally just the forms, but you cut out the middle man so they don't get more money to lobby congress to keep this dumb system going. It's also free if you make more then $85,000 , which alot of the "free" software isn't.

Freetaxusa is the GOAT for filing. Have all my shit saved on a NAS and it's so easy.
Trump supporters have a similar brain structure to moths. they see a light (Trump saying something), doesn't matter what it is or if it's attached to something that'll kill them, they'll flock and rave to it regardless
Why can't a leftist candidate do that? What's the secret sauce? Is it violence, or the threat of violence?
It would be easy like this
I will make healthcare free for everyone! We're going to have the best healthcare in the world and billionaires are going to pay for it!
I'm going to start a federal drug program! We're going to have the cheapest drugs in the world and no-one will have to decide between rent and their medication!
I'm going to start a national Give Parents Freedom Act, where we will provide free daycare for any parent making under 100k/year! We will pay for it by cutting the military budget by 1%!
In my first 100 days I'm going to sign the mothers are awsome executive order mandating 1 year of maternity leave for mothers and 3 months for fathers. Employers will not be allowed to fire any new parent.
I'm also going to divert ICE money into a new consumer agency called "IYCIWFYU" (If you collude I will fuck you up) their entire mission will be to investigate corporations that are price fixing and stealing money from the people.
I'm going to make digital Tax filing FREE for everyone and divert all IRS investigations into people making over 5 million per year!
Instead we get
I'll try to pass a bipartisan bill to maybe fix some roads... 🤷I don't know... We'll see what Republicans let me do 😢

Stupid followers that need to be told to hate someone.
Could probably succeed on a "hate the billionaires" ticket, if these people weren't so programmed with capitalism.
I think the secret sauce is critical thinking. No joke.
Fellow non-USians: no they don't have to pay their government for the privilege of being allowed to file their taxes. "For free" here means "without the help of a tax accountant (and online)". I was SO SO SO confused.
Edit: tax adviser? tax agent? some person who knows taxes.
It's also not as easy as it is in other countries. It seems like most countries the government knows what you owe and you just verify it. In America the government says "we know already, but you have to tell me what you owe. If you're wrong we're coming after you." So it is a bit more complicated for us and since it's more complicated we use tax prep software or hire tax agents. Some services offer(d) free federal filing and you'd just pay $10-15 for state tax. Now I imagine there's going to be a feeding frenzy for the online services as their prices are going to increase...
Trump will do anything and everything to make sure we have to pay some rich fuck...
Oh I wasn't dismissing this as a non-issue or anything, it's clearly bullshit and yet another reason for you to burn cars and billionaires. But I remember when I first heard about this, specifically the "(file) for free" was INCREDIBLY confusing because as ridiculous many, many things the US does may seem to me, (what I understood as) the notion of paying your government a fee to process your taxes was juuust a bit too far out.
You CAN still do it on your own though, just not online, yeah?
Yeah you can definitely still do it on your own it's just very complicated for anyone who has more than just a job and no investment, property, etc. like a dude with one job who rents an apartment and has nothing else would more than likely have an easy time doing it, the hardest part for them would probably be the mail since no one does physical mail anymore lol
Edit: shit that just reminds me, I don't even have a printer!
So far, Cashapp is still offering free filing. Feels weird to use it, but it's worked out fine for the past few years. I refuse to go back to TurboTax and their predatory free-until-its-not pricing.

I just click accept on my taxes and then pay or receive whatever says there.
So you can't file your taxes online? That's insane. Muricans need to get rid of this dude asap.
This has been the status quo for many years. Direct file with the government was released within the last few years, which is what Trump is killing.
Historically, you've had to pay someone like Intuit, H&R Block, or a local tax accountant to walk you through filing. Third parties that will all charge you a couple hundred dollars for the privilege, though the big firms will have online filing. You could also file purely by paper and mail, if you're a psycho (confident that you won't make audit-able mistakes).

i haven't invested in intuit out of spite (former tax accountant here, the term you're looking for is tax professional as there are too many worthless certs) but i'm really curious how much krasnov did. now the "easy" way to file in the US is turbotax, which is fine if you know how to answer the (intentionally obtuse) questions, which most people don't. Now it'll cost everyone at least $75 unless they raise their prices, which they will.

So basically he's forcing people to pay extra to a private company to file their fucking taxes.
Can someone please think of the shareholders...?
Sounds to me like we all stop paying taxes as much as possible. Set withholding to lowest possible, don't file in April. Dump the tea into the harbor. I do not feel represented by ANYTHING this corrupt admin has done, they don't deserve our tax dollars.
There are only three certainties in life (US edition):
- Taxes
- Filing your taxes
- Death
"Don't worry about it. If you're rich, it wont affect you!"
-Every single thing the GOP has done this term
I managed to get to use this last year before Cheeto Mussolini got rid of it. It was simple, straight-forward and free for the basic filings. Of course that fucking twat waffle would get rid of it.

I doubt Trump has ever paid tax in his life
I’m wondering if the open source work that was released can be built out in a way that we could still generate tax forms to send in.
It’d take some effort to make sure it’s following current tax code however:
They're just going to have a record high number of people not filing their taxes, and I can't tell if that's the point?
We are free to choose our actions, but we are not free to choose the consequences.
And it turns out that elections have consequences beyond owning the libs

It's okay guys, because of that bill we saved 0.00005% of federal spending and our tax breaks only increased the deficit by like 2,631.58% resulting in 50 Trillion USD debt by 2032. You're welcome. /s
