Julie Miller File Quotations

This program was never designed to be free advertising or a way to cheaply attract customers. The question for every company became, 'Is that kind of free-to-everyone approach a sustainable model for the Free File Alliance?' The answer, I think, would be no.

We have consistently voiced our concern that over the past several years, the Free File Alliance had drifted from its original philanthropic and public-service intent.

We believe that California taxpayers deserve the right to independently and privately prepare and file their own taxes. Our concern has been that this program targets predominantly low-income and minority taxpayers who may be put at a disadvantage by getting what looks like a bill from the state.
