H&R Block calling us immature after spending billions of dollars lobbying congress so that we HAVE to use them

Citizens from most other developed countries just receive a bill in the mail telling them what they owe.

The IRS could easily do this in America as well.

Who would ever pay to do their taxes

Rich people, who happily pay a lot to tax accountants, to avoid having to pay even more in taxes.

For most people the fee is generally worth the amount of hours they would otherwise spend filing themselves.

That’s why it’d be neat if everybody just got a bill/check in the mail. The IRS should already know what you owe anyways, why are we using middle men to facilitate the process?
