Articles published around the country repeat Intuit’s assertion — sometimes almost word for word — that the upcoming IRS pilot program would hurt Black Americans. A researcher whose work is cited by Intuit says the company is misstating her findings.
The others are so bad that it seems like they are there to distract people from freetaxusa. It’s like Intuit was able to convince the IRS to add a bunch of filler apps to give people a bad experience and drive them back to Turbotax. That’s why I don’t recommend that list. It seems intentionally misleading and distracting to me.
The IRS has been cozy with Intuit for decades, and should not really be trusted with advice on free or affordable tax prep solutions.
