Fuck TurboTax!
Imagine filing your income taxes in five minutes — for free! You'd open up a pre-filled return, see what the government thinks you owe, make any needed changes and be done. The miserable, annual IRS shuffle, gone.
This is a reality in places like Denmark, Sweden, and Spain. Government-prepared returns would estimate your taxes using information provided by your employer and bank, rather than coming to you as a tax form. Advocates say tens of millions of taxpayers could use such a system each year, saving them a collective $2 billion and 225 million hours in prep costs and time, according to one estimate.*
Why didn't this happen? Thank TurboTax! Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, spent about $11.5 million lobbying Congress over the last 5 years, ensuring that filing your taxes remained complicated and difficult. They want you to rely on software like Turbo Tax and they want you to pay for it.
FUCK TURBOTAX! Don't give them any more money to keep taxes difficult to file and the tax code more complicated.*
"Fuck TurboTax" was developed to hurt TurboTax and to provide you with alternative affordable, low-cost, and free tax preparation options. We are especially interested in directing you towards options that are not TurboTax for both on-line and in-person tax preparations.
Our Goals
Our goal is to provide you with easy, low cost, and free resources for filing your taxes. Whether you file yourself or pay a professional, we want to ensure that we aren't funding a system that forces us to rely on its services.
