They charge you a fee and then share your data with Meta.
There are a lot of big industries on my sh*t list. But high on that list are tax prep companies.
The IRS often has all the information it needs to send you a tax return, but these massive corporations profit off of being a middle-man. Every year they lobby Congress so they can continue profiting off of taxpayers. But it gets worse. Now, an investigation I was a part of found that they sold user data to Google and Meta.
This investigation could lead to legal action and I'll keep pushing for answers from these companies.
Taxpayers are waiting for the IRS to develop a free and simple way to do their taxes so that we don't have to rely on these corporations. As soon as next year that could be a reality, and I've been pushing the IRS to make this available to as many Americans as possible.
I'll always stand with consumers, not predatory corporations. Sign on to show your support for holding these bad actors accountable.
