    It is kinda wild that there’s no meaningful FOSS tax software out there given every working person (and even some who don’t) have to do taxes

      Tax software is useless for most Americans if it can do E-file, and you have to be a tax software company partnered with the IRS to do that.

      If you print and paper file it takes ages to get your tax return. The biggest moneymaker for TurboTax is return anticipation loans, where they instantly give you your money(minus an obscene amount of interest for money that is guaranteed to be repaid).
