- elicash 6y agoThis isn't how most file. Also, the way it works is that you still have the option of doing it yourself. But by default, done for you.

My taxes are admittedly at least somewhat complex but, even if I did them myself, I'm not sure how much effort it would save if I had to do a bunch of additions and corrections. Pre-filling would mostly be useful if you could just check your W2, maybe a 1099, some things like dependents, sign it, and file it.
