For several years now we have used TurboTax online to prepare our federal tax
return. It has worked fine, until now. This year they designed it for IE or
Netscape on Windows. Even with Mozilla or Firefox spoofing of the user agent
the system does not work right. The complaints are flying in the customer
forums.
In the mean time, I have all the paperwork to do my taxes. So, I need to find
some other place to do it. Without experience of other vendors, I wondered
about any feedback from this group.
- - hrblock.com - They are $29.95 plus additional fee for state. I assume they
are good. Feedback reports they are OS agnostic so Linux should work fine.
- - taxactonline.com - The are $7.95 plug the same for state. Good price. They
are also supposed to be OS agnostic.
(I don't intend to start a discussion about tax preparation methods or
options. I know many swear by using a real CPA or doing it by hand or not
doing it online or whatever. My purpose here is to find a service that works
well and doesn't mind customers who use Linux and a "non-IE" browser.)
