Intuit CEO Sasan Saeedi got into a confrontational exchange during an interview with The Verge for its Decoder podcast.

The Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel asked for the interview to be cut from the interview.

Intuit is one of the most notorious lobbyists in Washington because of its efforts to prevent tax filing from becoming simpler and cheaper.

The software that’s “already completely free of charge today ” is, of course, TurboTax . But Intuit is not a charitable organization, there’s a reason it offers free tax filing to some Americans . It’s a cover to continue a regime of charging others for tax preparation when what everyone really wants is free, automated filing. Anyone who’s worked a regular 9 -5 job understands that the IRS knows how much you make anyway. Just automate it already..
