Depends on how good Intuit's lobbyists are at complicating any attempt at getting a UBI legislated.

One of the concepts often used to describe/"sell" a UBI is that a UBI may be thought of as changing the tax code to provide larger rebates and/or the government doing cash advance "loans" on a person's tax rebates so that people can make use of the time value of money. Those perspectives make a UBI easier to sell to legislators ("it's just a stranger tax code with some new accounting tricks"), but unfortunately also give plenty of room to tax code lobbyists to complicate and corrupt a UBI.
