it’s not the irs’ fault the “system” is as it is. they’re limited to what congressional actions (laws and budget) allow.
i also still file through the mail because with no assets or investments and a low income, they’re simple af to do. it rarely changes year-to-year except the figures from the tables.
I still file by mail because if somebody were to do something with my taxes in transit, it’s a federal crime vs e-filing where everybody whose network it passes through gets a copy, legally.
If your tax preparation software is doing things right, SSL should ensure that networks along the way can’t open up your taxes and take a look.
I should have said, “visible by all the ‘partners’”.
Speaking of which, apparently the IRS is testing a free online tax calculator
that does not sound very useful. we already have free fillable forms. It needs to automatically get the information from the forms we just data entry into our taxes.
