It’s about time that Intuit was called out for their scam. Hopefully, the attempt to stop the federal tax filing will get dismissed as well.

FWIW, CashApp Taxes (formerly Credit Karma Taxes) is free for state and federal.

Formerly Credit Karma taxes because Credit Karma was bought by Intuit, believe it or not, and they had to spin off the tax prep part.

Huh I did not know this. CK was my backup to FT USA but that is indeed some sneaky shit. I'm scared now for FT USA - PLEASE DO NOT SELL OUT.

I used Credit Karma taxes for several years and have actually used the Cash app Taxes for the last two years since the switch and while it's not quite as good as it was under the CK umbrella it's still been mostly okay for me.
