One of the chair dissented on these rules: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/P204800MotorVeh...
Says these rules will stifle innovation and some car makers are doing direct sales so rule is not really needed.
sagarun | 4 years ago | on: FTC sues Intuit for its deceptive TurboTax “free” filing campaign
Just be a little careful with the state returns on CashApp. It has a bug on handling mortgage interest deductions if your mortgage is over $750000 and the state allows deduction up to $1000000. Double check by filing with other tax software and verify the refund amount is the same. I used freetaxusa.com to get this right.
sagarun | 4 years ago | on: FTC sues Intuit for its deceptive TurboTax “free” filing campaign
Cash App taxes has a bug where mortgage interest deduction is not handled properly with state vs federal. If your mortgage is more than 750000$ and your state is California or a state allows deduction up to a million $ in mortgage interest then you will end up getting a lower refund.
I'd double check by filing with another software just to make sure (i.e https://www.freetaxusa.com/)

My dad used to tell me this story, In rural India in the 60s the Federal Government would lay copper cables to bring electricity to the town. Some locals would bring down all the cables overnight and sell it in black market to some quck money.
For them electricity wasn't that important compared to food on the table.

/rant If fedora really loves python, they should first start showing their love by publishing all their distribution related libraries to pypi. blivet, selinux, none of these are available in pypi. Why do they expect everyone to use rpms?
