I wonder the same thing

They need you to solemnly swear you did the math right

So that they can charge you with perjury if they disagree with your math

Trump floating ending income tax

Because turbo tax lobbied hard not to make taxes automatic or easy and free to do

Because fiat slavery isn’t complete without pointless suffering and humiliation.

Subjecting you to a humiliation ritual is part of the plan.

They need to remind you how you don't own yourself.

Because the lobbyists at Intuit want to be able to charge you $50+ per year to make filing every year "easy".

Scam

It’s a humiliation ritual
