A fee to pay taxes? Why not include it in the taxes at that point? It’s just ridiculous.
Similar to that time I went to the local garage, my car needed a new 12v battery. Fine, it got swapped for a new one. On the receipt, it had the costs broken down. The garage had the audacity to include a line for: “Charging battery 20 Euro”.
The “fee” is using a private tax preparation service. In theory skippable, but it’s just a pain to do.
Once upon a time, maybe forgivable, private sector embracing useful technology before the government was ready, but now the government actively resists making it easier to file taxes, and coincidentally the tax prep companies give a lot of money to politicians…
Yeah when they talk about single payer healthcare saving us millions of dollars, those millions of dollars saved are dollars that wouldn’t go to the insurance companies and more specifically to the pockets of people who pay lobbyists

i used to prep tax. i had a five page schedule of fees.
i was also known locally as the dude with the most fair bills. that schedule was so long because i didn’t bill for shit i didn’t do.
With Americans, the answer is always some private entity mixed in the middle that will make money out of it.
