    Intuit has competition from Quicken

    In the dog-eat-dog world of tax preparation software, there's nothing worse than being assaulted by a product made down the hall from you - which fits in an entirely different niche.

    Worse fate than death, I tell you.

    In the meantime, Intuit does have competition from H&R Block and a few others.
