No, Warren isn't going to kick Donald Duck in the yarbles. And it's not 1943, either. Excellent news! While Ted Cruz is yammering on about things that will never happen (filing your taxes on a postcard and abolishing the IRS), Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and six other cosponsors have introduced a
tell-me-bout-it! I wouldn't need to pay so much for overhead if the insurance companies didn't play such a shell game with reimbursements and benefits such that 11 years into this business, any profit suddenly vanished.
Virginia is more likely to do that than DC. DC usually claims it sent you a notice on what you did wrong and charge you a penalty because you didn't pay on their first notice.
H&R Block ripped us off when filing for '12, '13 and '14. I had told my husband that I thought their fee too high for our return. He kept insisting I didn't understand the process. Then when filing last year, he noticed something which didn't look right from '13.
When he questioned the same H&R guy who'd been doing our taxes, he admitted to the error and apoligized. That particular office didn't make any effort to make the situation right. So my husband contacted a regional manager. She also admitted to the error, apologized and refunded us $600 for the services we'd paid for in '13 & '14 but it didn't even make up for 1 years' fee.
My husband was thrilled but I think it was just him trying to compensate for not having trusted my instinct about the company from the get go. I would've demanded a greater "apology" refund and tried to but my husband just wanted to forget the scam he'd fallen prey to and forget not having trusted his wife's intuition.
It still pisses me off because I feel strongly that we are just 1 client in hundreds of thousands who've been scammed by H&R Block.
I've always said the IRS already has all of our info. Paying many hundreds of dollars to file for a return totaling under $3K doesn't make any sense.
this is pretty useless legislation actually. anyone filing a 1040EZ already has access to no cost preparation. If they want to make a difference, make the online services quit charging extra for prepping 1040s, Schedules A, C & E, and filing state returns (this is where most people end up paying). Even with all those extras, I paid under $15. But I don't Turbo. They are thieves. There are many online services that are cheaper and easier to use and easily worth it. I paid a lot more for my financial management software. That's where the real preparation takes place anyway.
Don't I wish....
'specially when that's part of his schtick.
mmmmm.....bacon....

can the 1% have nuclear subs, or ....never mind, of course they can!
I thought lack of pigment in the first place was a requirement....okay, this isgetting too descriptive and graphic, even for me.Ew!
I misread that as "lick our bootstraps." Also eww esp if trickled on first.
Having just finished 8 hours of doing my taxes on TurboTax, I now worship the ground Elizabeth Warren walks on even more then I did before!

so now we criticize her fake laugh?
People won't do what they don't want to do or they won't do it well without an incentive. That is human nature.
So until you don't need people to do such things....

TurboTax gets me with the direct deposit fee they charge. It runs about $30.
Can you recommend 1 or 2?
TaxAct is the cheapest, I think. Either that or TaxSlayer. I will never use TurboTax again.
