Intuit asked us to delete part of this Decoder episode

Intuit CEO Sasan Goodarzi claims it’s not accurate the company lobbies against free tax filing.

The CEO of Intuit (who make financial software) did an interview, and it seems a pretty normal interview. But some senior guy at the company asked for part of the interview to be deleted, after it took place.

By putting in that unusual request (rather angrily), more attention is being drawn to the interview.

Thoughts?

    Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, “Here’s how much you paid in taxes, if you’re cool with that then please disregard”, I will not be satisfied.

    NZ does that. More accurately, they email you to tell you that there’s a letter available online - I don’t think they send physical mail by default.

    Then they pay any refund straight into your nominated bank account.

      The US government has a lot of work to do before they can be trusted to do that. They’re allowing a serial rapist, liar and grifter to run for a second term as president, their collective decision making is questionable at best.

        You are mixing up unrelated things. Politics is a circus but that doesn’t mean the Government can’t do certain things well.

            Considering how under-funded and understaffed the IRS has been/is, they do a pretty amazing job with what they have to work with. Simplifying or redoing our tax codes again is a huge task that will take time. There does need to be some sort of progress though! We’ll see what type of government we’ll have shortly.
