Intuit TurboTax gives up any pretense of 'free' tax filing

I’ve discovered that even though I have been living overseas for decades, have no assets in US banks or on US territory, I still have to file US income tax by reason of having US citizenship. No, I don’t owe anything thanks to foreign tax credit and such, but when I went to get the forms I was amazed at how complex they make it. And how the cheapest offer to file was USD $400 per year.

I’d rather go through the pain of filling the paperwork out and dropping it off at the consulate, you vultures.
