Online tax credits

from the I'm-not-sure-about-this-one dept

There is a proposal floating around for tax credits for people who file online. I'm not sure about this one. One part of me thinks it's the right thing to do, since filing online cuts down on the amount it costs the government. Another part says, people shouldn't be penalized for not being comfortable using the Net to file taxes.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    He has been performing in this "position" for quite sometime.

    Ballmer has been CEO without the title for quite sometime.

    This is just formalizing what has been for quite a while.

    It's just making it free.

    The thing I like about the $10 tax credit is that what it's doing, in essence, is making filing electronically free -- like doing it the old fashioned way is. Having a company make $10 on me filing my tax returns (especially after spending $35 on the software) seemed like a scam.
