1 day too late!

Also ridiculous that there is an income limit of $79,000 (AGI).

There is no reason for that arbitrary line to be there except for lobbying by companies like Intuit.

Filers above that AGI tend to have more complicated returns. That's all. I don't see a problem with them taking it slow.

This system looks really similar to the FAFSA enrollment site, which had trouble in late 2023. Probably explains why this site didn't launch earlier.

I meant the post was 1 day too late.

But there are many people around me who make > $300,000 married with simple returns. Married filing jointly, 1 state, renting. No reason to be excluded.

lol. irs can calculate your taxes in all cases since the 60s. they only offer a crap toy that covers only 1/1000000 of cases. intuit lobbying is still winning.

cannot even touch that if happen to have a retirement account generating any 1099, or if you got tips. these restrictions covers everyone with a 9 to 5 job and everyone with a temp job. what's left?

oh also it requires a id.me account.

go ahead and try to get one. they have a literal root kit trying to run on your browser. if you're firewall blocks anything like webrts and such you get denied
