I agree but there is so little financial knowledge in the general population that it’s almost a given that financial outcomes will be negatively affected. One problem is that finance can be complicated but my mother who only went to grade school knew more about a household budget than most people. I’m not sure where she got her skills from but she passed them on to me.
I use turbo tax though I dislike intuit the company that puts it out. They have deceived people with their free program and were responsible for making campaign donations to influential law makers that killed the IRS free file program.

More expensive than everyone paying to file? Plus I bet with AI they could brin* it back for peanuts.
