How so? You don't pay TurboTax per regulation. You pay them a flat fee to file your taxes.
I might buy that line of thinking for a corporation but the direct file program was about individuals. Elon gleefully tweeted about how that had been deleted. That's a direct give away to TurboTax and H&R Block.
I like how the dude you’re replying to is parallelizing being wrong about this in every reply thread.
You're solving the wrong problem.
The issue isn't direct file vs TurboTax.
It's whether most individuals should have to file at all.
A few tweaks around employment income and capital gains, and you can do away with filing altogether for most people.
I am willing to wager that the IRS will continue to exist.
Obviously, but most normal people won't have to interact with them.
