Only catch is Republicans probably launching some type of legal action to try and stop it.

No lawsuit launched yet to my knowledge, just sternly worded letters saying please stop helping taxpayers instead of letting predatory companies like Intuit fleece money off of them.

I would expect them to try something soon though with this announced.
