[nfb-talk] taxes

[Michael Bullis]

I don't know which ones are accessible but I will tell you a short tale of 
my own.
I did my taxes with turbotax online.  Although it did take some figuring 
here and there about certain links that weren't visible, in general the 
process worked and I completed my two State and one federal return.  They 
were fairly complex returns and the system worked well.
Unfortunately, at the very end of the process, right after, and I emphasize 
the word after, you've paid them, they require you to varify a captcha.

Needless to say I was furious almost beyond words and the words I used 
weren't very pretty.  Fortunately, after looking around I found a phone 
number to call and was able to speak coherently enough to finally get 
someone to understand that I would be their mortal enemy for life if this 
didn't get worked out quickly.  It was already after 11 PM Eastern time. 
So, the guy at Turbotax linked up with my computer and read the captcha.  It 
took a few tries to link correctly, Etc. and I did inform him that they were 
truly a law suit waiting to happen.

I offered to assist Turbotax in finding an alternative to captcha and 
avoiding what I see as a serious legal issue but have not been contacted to 
this point.  As I see it, the real problem is that they lead one along 
through a lengthy experience and then, after taking your money, they drop 
the bomb that you have to access a captcha.  Bad feelings aren't even what 
this creates.
So, Hope this helps.
