You don't see ads for TurboTax on Facebook if you already have an account, for instance. TaxAct is also delivering financial data to Google through that company's analytics tool.

Why would they do this?

Perhaps money is involved?

One would think this would be rather illegal.

Remember when the left was constantly talking about “consumers” and “consumer protection” ? Long time ago.

Intuit’s TurboTax also uses the Pixel to send data, although that’s limited to usernames and the last sign-in dates for given devices.

Wonder what the CIA and FBI want with it ... civil asset forfeiture scams and raids on Conservatives?

This isn’t good,especially to the extent people chose not to have their data shared.

I’ve only ever submitted my taxes by paper return. Would never do them online.

These companies may be sending the data to Google despite you not sending the return online. You finish the return and you print it out to mail it by these companies just send the data to Google anyways with you not informed.
