with turbotax it's done and you're done. you wait till next year and hope and pray and keep your fingers crossed that you answered all the questions correctly. this trend is being felt by the big guns such as h&r block that accumulated nearly $340 million dollars in net losses for its fiscal 2013 third quarter. intuit, the makers of turbotax, saw an 11% boost in sales last year to 14 million units. a report by the u.s. general accounting office says that most customers are happy with their tax preparer and would go to them again-- but with little government oversight in the industry, experts caution consumers when picking out a tax professional because of the higher cost. i'm putting more pressure on the consumer. know what you're getting into. talk to two or three people and ask what the fees are and compare. in more complex tax situations, some filers are more inclined to pay more just to be safe. just being able to go in have one on one and kinda explain the situation. with the uniqueness of our tax household helps us and

they make more than $1 billion every year from turbotax and related services. so it was just good business for them to spend almost $2 million to kill california's experiment and the more than $11 million they've spent lobbying washington in recent years, that's good business too. and intuit's got good friends. he hates this idea, because if taxes are too easy, then people won't hate them as much. norquist says the irs is, quote, trying to socialize all tax preparation in america. having the government using information, you're already giving them, to prepare an automatic tax return you can ignore, that is totally what karl marks had in mind. >> last year, public lobbyists with ties to intuit convinced a rabbi, a state naacp official, a small town mayor and other community leaders to write op-eds and leaders to congress with remarkably similar language, arguing that having them write taxes since they would haven't the resources to fight inaccurate returns. the rabbi told pro-publicka to not disclose that they work for a pr and lobbying firm. we reached out to i

and aggravation, and it's not counting the amount they pay to h&r block and jackson hewitt and for turbotax and so on. so there's a lot of justification that's needed for anyone to think that the return-based tax is worth having when it imposes costs at that level. but the argument i make is at least potentially there are real benefits to return-based taxation, and there's two that i focus on in the book. one is that it can serve as a ceremony of fiscal citizenship. the idea here is that there are two great publications of citizenship; one is to vote, that's a moral obligation rather than a legal obligation, of course, and the other is to pay taxes. so to participate in the political process and to participate in the financing of government. and and everybody thinks that voting is important enough that it deserves a kind of civic ceremony. and even though it's sometimes a hassle to line up on voting day at the polling place, i think people by and large appreciate the ceremonial aspects of that. well, my argument is fiscal citizenship is just as important and deserves a ceremony of its own,
