Many U.S. taxpayers in a dozen states for the first time can electronically file their federal returns directly to the Internal Revenue Service for free — but critics insist the new federal benefit is not needed and will even harm both users and states.

    Is the critic turbotax?

    Ok, so turbotax is mentioned,

    In 2022, Intuit settled with attorneys general from across the U.S., agreeing to pay $141 million to Intuit TurboTax customers who ended up buying services that should have been free to them.

    But mostly it seems republican states are saying its residents are too stupid to figure out they would still need to file state taxes, if federal taxes are available to file free through the federal government instead of a tax company that would do both.
