It also comes with plenty of storage, including two cabinets that have holes in them to accommodate cables, and an exposed center that can be customized with the removable shelf. Each of the four colors, including white, brown and two blacks are on sale, but the discount varies by color.

Your kid will have so much fun in this unique bed that resembles the frame of a house. The Skyler metal house bed fits a twin mattress and sits low on the ground, so your child can get in and out of the bed easily.

This bed has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon. One customer wrote, “This was the perfect Montessori-style bed to transition our 2-year-old from crib to ‘big girl bed.’ I put it together alone in about 20 minutes. Some of the pieces are heavy, but not too bad — and it all came together easily — really without even needing instructions. I wanted something cute and trendy but that would keep her close to the floor to avoid any injury. This has been a wonderful purchase.”

H&R Block and Intuit drop on a report that Elon Musk’s DOGE may develop a new tax-filing app

Avatar

Published

on


H&R Block and Intuit shares dropped on Tuesday after the Washington Post reported that President-elect Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, which is run by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is looking at developing a free app for people to file their taxes.

The publication cited two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, in reporting that the leaders of the incoming administration’s DOGE discussed the idea of crafting a mobile app to file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service. 

H&R Block shares tumbled 8.2%, while Intuit shed 5.1% on Tuesday. As the dominant players in tax preparation, H&R Block and Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, generate billions in revenue annually by offering online and in-person services. 

The Biden Administration in March rolled out a pilot Direct File program through the IRS in 12 states. It allows qualified taxpayers file directly through a federal portal. Additionally, the IRS provides services through its Free File program for those who made an adjusted gross income of $79,000 or less.

More than 100,000 taxpayers used the new Direct File program to file their taxes this year, which marked the first time the system was in operation, according to the Treasury Department. 

The DOGE, which has been directed by Trump to slash government spending and cut federal regulations, criticized the complexity of the U.S tax code in a Nov. 16 post on X, the social media service owned by Musk. 

“In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. Tax Code. Today, there are more than 16 million words,” its X account wrote. “Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year.”

Intuit and H&R Block also have free filing options. 

That said, the Federal Trade Commission earlier in the year barred Intuit from advertising its popular TurboTax product as free when most people have to pay to use it. The FTC in February filed an administrative complaint against H&R Block, alleging it marketed its tax-prep products as free yet deleted the data as a way to pressure them to pay for pricier services. Both companies said they’d appeal.

Trump taps television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead key Medicare and Medicaid agency

Lawmakers skeptical of some Trump picks


Lawmakers question confirmability of some Trump Cabinet picks

07:41

Washington — President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he has selected Dr. Mehmet Oz  — a celebrity heart surgeon who hosted a daytime television show — to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The agency falls under the Department of Health and Human Services and oversees Medicare, the federal portion of the Medicaid program, the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the federal health insurance marketplace. Trump has selected Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of Health and Human Services. Both positions require Senate confirmation.

“America is facing a health care crisis, and there may be no physician more qualified and capable than Dr. Oz to make America healthy again,” Trump said in a statement. “He is an eminent physician, heart surgeon, inventor, and world-class communicator, who has been at the forefront of healthy living for decades.”

The president-elect said Oz will work with Kennedy, if he is confirmed, “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.” He also indicated there may be cuts to CMS, writing that Oz “will also cut waste and fraud within our country’s most expensive government agency, which is a third of our nation’s healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire national budget.”

Oz was defeated by Democratic Sen. John Fetterman in the 2022 Senate race in Pennsylvania after receiving Trump’s endorsement.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
