I stopped using TurboTax the year they charged me extra because I had student loans. Also IRS, if you want the money so bad, send me the bill you lazy fucks.
For now, don't forget there is this website (if you make $79,000 or less):
https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free
Also the IRS has been prevented from doing what you want in the past thanks to lobbying by companies like Intuit/H&R block (I'm sure the IRS would prefer a direct method too). Hopefully that's changing soon though, they've started a direct file pilot this year:

I think I had two w-2s one year and it wasn’t until the end of the process that they told me it would cost so I grabbed a blank paper return from the library (no printer!) and copied the details over and mailed it in myself. Fuck you Intuit.
Friendly reminder to denigrate Intuit to your friends and coworkers and avoid Mint, Quickbooks, Kredit Karma, Mailchimp, and Turbotax.
My uncle has been using quickbooks for so long that I can’t imagine getting him on anything else. It’s already a nightmare when they force an update for payroll functionality.
The last time I had to upgrade it, they made it difficult to find the version you just buy and redirected me every way they could to the subscription service. I finally got it.
I’d be horrified to switch him to anything else. He’s still freaking out 5 times a week because he can’t find “My Computer”. He finally started adjusting to “Computer” and now it’s “This PC”.
Freshbooks, then just rename the shortcut.
I’ll look into that.
I agree it’s probably not worth the stress (for you or him) to retrain your tech-illiterate family member who has been using the software forever.
I think you can set it back to My Computer with some of the debloat scripts out there. You can also install Classic Shell to make it look more like old Windows.
