> Are you engaging in this conversation to seek more information, or in an attempt to defend Intuit? most of these answers are a simple google away.

yes i am trying to find how they `lobbied against tax code simplification.` . All the links are pointing to how they lobbied against govt run tax filing system. eg: https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-turbotax-20-year-f...




Again, this isn't hard. You can't oppose an argument by coming here and saying "it wasn't in the first google result"

Same source, different article mentions Intuit's opposition to return-free filing:

> 1. Intuit's opposition to return-free filing

> 2. lobbied against tax code simplification.

1 and 2 are different. yes?

You are right i can tons of examples and articles for 1 but i am looking for 2 specifically.

tax code simplification isn't the same a tax filing simplification.

edit: Yes i am not saying its not simple. 'Tax code' means something specific, its not a generic standin for anything that has to do with taxes. Tax code has nothing do with tax filing itself. I am not sure how to explain this better.


So you're saying that return-free filing is not more simple?

Going to end it the conversation here and log off for the day, nothing personal, it's just a waste of my time to connect the dots in such a painstakingly specific way.
