DON'T USE TURBO TAX!

Thought I'd get a head start on things and file my taxes online. I logged into TurboTax, which I've used for the last 2 years I think. It gave an option to use my info from last year, so of course I selected Yes. At the very end of my tax return, when I was relieved to be done (especially with lots to do today & paying to use a kind of slow computer) it came up with a $19-something fee to file!! Apparently even though I signed in to the free version, when I opted to use last year's info it automatically 'upgraded' me (without any notice) to a pay version. According to their site you can upgrade online, but once it's done there's no way to downgrade, so you have to create a brand new profile. I sent them an email telling them that they suck, that whoever designed the program is a f'ing moron (a quote), and that I'm looking for another place to file.

I hate tax time with a passion. It's one thing for the government to unconstitutionally take my money and use it for their own gain and immoral agendas; it's another to make me do the paperwork! Why doesn't the IRS have their own free-file system anyway? Jackasses.
