I feel it’s designed to push you towards a tax preparer. More business protectionism that benefits the rich and drains regular people.

@ToadOfHypnosis Not sure, I know that the rules really benefit the IRS, I should've owed $1800, but after that, interest (starts on the day it was due), penalties, and fees, I owed $4200. Nice racket they got there.
