Okay, nothing to do with them being too much or too difficult to prepare or anything like that. But honestly, who in DOG’S name thought that it would be a good idea to have people PAY to e-file?
Hello, IRS and Franchise Tax Board–you have said on more than one occasion that efilers save the government money. Their returns require fewer hours of human manpower for processing, thereby reducing costs. And yet you still want us to pay you? Are you mad?
This year, my TurboTax software came with five free federal efiles. So I will definitely be filing my federal taxes electronically. But the state of California wants to charge me $19.95 per return. Hello, it costs me <$5 to print and mail you the bloody thing. Why would I pay you four times as much?
Talk about penny-wise and pound foolish. Sheesh. No wonder government is always broke!
