TurboTax 2007

Posted at 8:15 pm MST to Technology

Last tax season was the first time in many years that I did not use TurboTax to do my taxes.

Today I received a TurboTax CD in the mail. "Pay only when you are 100% satisfied". I suspect that means you have to pay for it before it will let you print or e-file your taxes.

Of course, anyone who enters their tax data into one program is unlikely to bother re-entering the data elsewhere...

I'm not really tempted. The disk has the same characteristic that drove me away in the first place: it's Windows-only. I'm not sure what Tax software I'm going to use this year, but it probably won't be TurboTax.

Maybe this year there will be a tax package with actual Linux support, instead of the half-measures I had to use last year.
