Congressional Report Finds Meta and Tax Prep Companies “Recklessly” Shared Taxpayers’ Data – The Markup

The investigation was opened in response to work published last year by The Markup

Might be old news for some… TLDR: Some big online tax prep sites have tracker pixels from Meta and Google, which collect things like income, filing status, tax credits, etc.

    Yeah, it might be true for federal taxes, but US tax system is complicated…

      IDK the tax software already also does state taxes too, and asks about at least some relevant city taxes. The software can be made - we have it already. It just doesn’t seem like the government couldn’t run the same stuff we do at home really.
