Turbo tax got me my maximum return and made it very clear. They're serious about my privacy and protection.

My savings account paid $60 more than the limit for their free product. Thus my two W-2s and one 1099-INT required me to go from $0 for filing to $150. Wish I could have given my $60 in interest back. After I paid, I saw that this added a total of 5 lines (all that said the same number) and 2 ‘no’ checkboxes to my return.
I know building tax software isn’t easy, but man, where is the middle ground between $0 and $150?! Why do we not have a simple publicly funded way for most of us to do taxes instead of having to feed Intuit and other mega-companies like them all of our personal information for them to profit off of?
Something like this comes up every year I’ve used TurboTax - last year I won $1,000 on a scratcher ticket, and ended up having to give them like $200 (again, cause I couldn’t use free version), plus they didn’t file on time for me or let me know so I ended up having to pay an additional $200 penalty to the federal gov. What a pain.
