At the very least Illinois makes it easy to file state. And the IRS can still lead you to free resources. I'm just frustrated since I work out of state that that red state doesn't make filling their returns easy.

No they will done some random person on the street or Facebook. This year's tax scheme is the fuel tax credit. People seem to believe a $20k refund with $5k income is normal.
As a member of the agency the plan that is laid out is pretty competent. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-modernization#:~:text=IRS%20Modernization%20Plan&text=The%20plan%20provides%20a%20six,mission%20and%20future%20development%20needs.
Someone is going to have to die before they are willing to crack down. I am hopeful that our justice system won't let him slide. I imagine the long term damage would be devastating otherwise.
Attention: please go to IRS.gov regardless of if your state qualifies for this program. The IRS free file program is available to most taxpayers and is based on amount of income rather than types of income.
The only tax changes that have happened since Biden was elected were part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Aid Act of 2018. I'm not too familiar with business taxes but individual is how I make my money.
You know what, I'm going to watch the original gargoyles. Through other means because I ain't paying for plus.
One thing I've learned is the mouse can fucking hire. They just have way too much say on the creation of their properties.
First of all love the name. If I recall my school taught us about the multiple type of banks, part of the reason I've only ever had credit union accounts, and a algebra class covering interest. I have to remember that I had to do work outside of class to figure stuff out. I've also been removed from basic education for 15 years.
I see, thanks for explaining that, I do agree that out education system does need an overhaul. I remember learning about interest both compound and simple and the type of bank accounts but that was only 1 day. Stuff like this shouldn't be taught in just math class though. There should be a life skills class and not just a lesson. Home ec doesn't cut it.
What? I'm speaking from personal experience. I'm not blaming the kids I just know hearing fellow adults speak on this about "things we never learned in school,". I'm making the point that this is a positive but I know people are going to not retain this information. 1/3 of this country vehemently supports a traitor. What propaganda though?
The fuel tax credit is generally used by farmer for the purchase of fuel for no highway vehicles like farm equipment and kerosene for heating. For some reason people are reporting the gas they put in their car for this credit. Their returns have a credit for as much as $20k. Their returns generally are low income. People are being told about this credit through means like Facebook.
For tax year 2020 and 2021 there was a credit for self employed people who lost money due to the pandemic could claim a credit of up to16k. People would claim this but have no history of self employment.
These returns are prepared either by individuals or by someone who applied for a preparer id to open a little tax clinic. You also have people who hang out around the tax places telling people they can get them a larger refund and the people don't question where these numbers are coming from. Part of it is due to poor education on the taxpayers part and shady preparers trying to increase their commissions.
The IRS implementing their own software could reduce this impact. The issue is the IRS is not great at advertising.
