    I have to wonder how many would ever use it to file for a tax refund though. Wouldn’t that out them to the government?

      The IRS normally doesn’t share files with anyone. Don’t you know the old saying? The best way not to get caught as a drug dealer is to file your taxes.

      If you look at my other comment, undocumented people in the US contribute over $90B in taxes every year!

          How do you mean? The whole point is to encourage people, everyone, to pay taxes. It’s a great system. Taxes enforcement should be truly independent from all other agencies to maximize trust and honesty.
