EXPOSED: The TurboTax scam.

One of the biggest scams in American history may be coming to an end — but we must remain vigilant as Republicans work to stop the reforms. For decades, TurboTax has waged a lobbying campaign to keep tax filing complicated for their own financial benefit. The latest episode of Lever Time exposes that scam. To listen, click here. LISTEN NOW: This link will take you to a podcast episode breaking down this scam and how we could end it soon. Lever Time is a weekly podcast dedicated to holding the powerful accountable produced by The Lever, a reader-supported news organization.

In this recent episode, Lever Time explores the IRS' newly announced plan to let Americans file their taxes online for free without using expensive tax-assistance programs. Maddeningly, the move could have happened more than two decades ago under the direction of President Ronald Reagan — if not for corporate lobbyists. Even now, House Republicans are attempting to cut the IRS's budget to stop the free-filing effort.
