6. Why can't I e-file with this program?
Because of the lack of cooperation of the IRS and the API. When I wrote to
the IRS regarding this, I received the following reply:
Thank you for your inquiry.
The government believes that private industry, given its established
expertise and experience in the field of electronic tax preparation, has a
proven track record in providing the best technology and services
available. In addition, the government believes a partnership with private
industry will: provide taxpayers with higher quality services by using the
existing expertise of the private sector; maximize consumer choice; promote
competition within the marketplace; and meet objectives in the least costly
manner to taxpayers.
We hope the above information will prove helpful to you.
Sincerely,
The IRS Website Support Team
I suspect that there will either need to be an outcry, or we will need to
present this project as a corporation of sorts for cooperation from the
IRS. For more info, see the previous FAQ entry.
