    it’s not the irs’ fault the “system” is as it is. they’re limited to what congressional actions (laws and budget) allow.

    i also still file through the mail because with no assets or investments and a low income, they’re simple af to do. it rarely changes year-to-year except the figures from the tables.

      I still file by mail because if somebody were to do something with my taxes in transit, it’s a federal crime vs e-filing where everybody whose network it passes through gets a copy, legally.

        If your tax preparation software is doing things right, SSL should ensure that networks along the way can’t open up your taxes and take a look.

        that does not sound very useful. we already have free fillable forms. It needs to automatically get the information from the forms we just data entry into our taxes.
