[COLUG] RE: Tax Prep on Linux

[Josh]

You know, for several years I used Intuit's TurboTax on the Web without 
issue.  Yeah, it complained about not being compatible, but that never 
posed problems.

This year, it complained about not being compatible, but it would NOT let 
me past the "you're not compatible" page.  So I opened up a chat window 
and asked the rep why I had been able to bypass the incompatibility screen 
and file taxes for the past few years with no problems, but now I can't. 
"Oh, we fixed that this year!"

Or, more to the point, broke it.

After that conversation I used H&R Block without issue.  I was able to 
bypass their "you're incompatible" page.  (CentOS 5.1, FireFox 2.0.0.11) 
I find that very ironic because, at least as of last year, H&R Block is 
just a different 'skin' on TurboTax.  (I guess the H&R Block company 
didn't want to write their own web app, so they just purchased the 
services from Intuit...)  I'm not sure if that is different this year or 
not.

Good luck!
Cheers,
