JULIE HYMAN: Tax season may be over but our trading tickers today are tax-related. Intuit and H&R Block-- Intuit the parent of TurboTax-- they're falling this morning, after reports that the Biden administration is now considering creating a government-run alternative to the two companies. Democrats have been pushing for the IRS to offer free online tax filing on their website, claiming these services should be free for middle income Americans. The IRS is expected to release a report this week on a possible direct file system. And the Biden administration will then decide whether indeed to pursue it.
