very little done to charge $198. I used to hire a professional accountant because I owned a business. They charged the same amount as Turbo Tax which was an extremely simple tax return.
Forcing people to purchase a $54 package so that they can pay for their filing fees out of their refund is greedy and predatory. The people most impacted by this are poor people who don’t have the money to pay upfront, so you’re essentially charging them a poor tax so that your $200 BILLION company can make even more money. I have used Turbo Tax since 2000 but I won’t be using them again.
