@AmmonLam Is the question for the US only? (In most other developed countries the gov already does your tax return for you and the vast majority of people don't have an accountant or specialized software. So the question probably already resolves as yes in these countries.)

opened a Ṁ1 YES at 50% order

Taxes should be something fairly simple to automate. It’s a standard list of questions and options, and your W2 and the other forms are already auto-importable on TurboTax and analogs
