    I will receive my tax return when I receive my tax return. If it was a website, I might consider using it. But an app? No, thank you. I’m good. A web browser is more sandboxed and has less permission than any app does.

      I also have an app for tolls in my state, and the VA. I’m just pointing out that not all government apps are terrible and I can certainly understand why some people would want or need to use them.
