> Why doesn't the IRS just have a web app like turbotax for everyone

Because capitalism blah blah. The government isn't supposed to compete with businesses.



Providing a web app to interact with the government is rightfully a government job. We should not need a business to act as an intermediary between us and our government. The "FreeFile" agreement should be abandoned, and the IRS (and states) should set up services for everyone to use.


I completely, 100% agree with you.
