The tax cut was always intended as a gift from the GOP to corporations and the wealthy. Anyone who was paying attention saw this coming, and saved ahead of time to pay the taxes (like I did).

In terms of doing it yourself, we have no choice here. The IRS expects us to figure out what we owe, and settle up. Like most Americans, I use commercial tax software to do mine (TurboTax in my case). It would be nice not to have to pay to use it, but I'm old enough to remember spending an entire day doing it on a paper Form 1040 with pencil and calculator, and a pile of different addtional forms and instructions, so having software that walks me through it in a couple of hours is a vast improvement.
