    Oh no, absolutely the government should be compiling this shit for us, and we should only have to double check and sign it like “yep looks right to me”

    I was just pointing out that the idea that any little mistake on your taxes will get you put in jail is a meme.

      Pretty sure they already do compile a lot of it. But then we get to play the game of “guess their number” with legal penalties if you guess wrong, so TurboTax can use fearmongering and deception to get people to pay for their software and add-ons.

      They already compile it, they’re just not allowed to show us because the tax companies donate a tiny percentage of their profits to political campaigns.
