I recently filed my taxes. Meh.
Federal government owed me money. No surprise.
Indiana wanted more money, on the order of about 66% of what I was getting back in Federal refund. Seemed excessive, but whatever.
Filed the taxes anyway. To pay State, was sent to some mostly non-descript site for paying all manner of "government" payments, and as a not-logged-in person, it didn't ask who or what I was paying for.
For a $315 bill, it wanted to charge me a nearly $8 (7.8?) fee to use a card.
I'm sorry, but I'm not. If this is the payment system you have, it can go unmentionable itself. Bill me. I'll send a money order at a cost of maybe a couple dollars, but I will not pay your "convenience" fee.
I hope I'm not the only person to have this annoyance and choose to skip the "convenience" provider, putting said provider out of business.
I'm tired of being treated like a money-source. EVERY state should be "retired" at this point, with enough money in the bank and investments to support itself without needing ANY taxpayers. States and the federal government were stupid and didn't do this. That's on them.
