Turbo Tax Melts Down on Tax Day

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the procrastinators-in-a-pinch dept.

Raven17 writes "Turbo Tax by Intuit completely melted down under the load from last minute filers. Some people have been having problems as long as 24 hours already. I surrendered 2 hours before the East Coast deadline and schlepped on down to the Post Office."

    If only there were some way to file in March, or even February. But that could only happen if employers had a deadline to send out W-2 forms by like the end of January.

    They should have contracted with a company like Google to cache the returns

    Excellent, then my tax return could be stored along side my e-mail, calendar, documents, searches, and every website I've visited that uses Double-click or Google ad services ... in fact, can't Google just fill out my returns automatically now, with the info they have?
