Tax season in the United States of America is a time of year filled with dread, confusion, and an avalanche of stress. But, when products like Turbo Tax came along we all thought life was going to get a little easier. Now, the American people didn’t have to go to an expensive accountant to get their taxes done, they could do it themselves! For Free! There was a tiny issue though; these services weren’t actually what was promised and they certainly weren’t free. Oh yeah, and those very same companies that claimed they were coming to save the day were actually lobbying against the people they were claiming to help.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.
