Get your taxes done using TurboTax

After reading your post I explored the page I had used and find that you provided the same page through your link. I also found that the scroll bar on the right side of the window is not being displayed in my browser. I found this by highlighting the visible text while holding the shift key and then pressing the page down button on my keyboard.

My computer is a MID 2011 iMac with a 3.4GHz Intel Core i7 with 20 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram and an SSD drive... no problems with hardware I would think.

The display subsystem is an AMD Radeon HD 6970M with a GB of RAM supporting a 27" LCD set for 2560 x 1440 resolution... seems to be a good enough display.

The OS is OS-X 10.8.5 (installing 10.8.7 causes a Kernel Panic which Apple has replied "Your computer is end-of-life and we offer no solution to your issue. You may try a 3rd party service is you so desire."  Yes, Apple are arsewholes)

The browser is Waterfox version 56.2.9 (64-bit). Why Waterfox you ask? Firefox does not support 10.8.5 and Safari is laughable. Apple won't talk to me (see Kernel Panic above) and if I wanted to use Chrome or IE I would be a Windows user and you would have to hold my hand every step of the way through everything I do with a computer. Besides, who needs 5 different ways to do a thing when one way that everyone can agree on will do fine. (/windows bashing)

Had the Intuit website been written with simple html I would possible have happily used Turbotax and you would have never heard from me. All for the feeling of need for style sheets and xml goes a customer.

I was not screwing around. Taxes are due and I was not going to trouble shoot Turbotax's website to dance around their flashy web interface. I used another service.

 

Thank you for following-up on my post, which now seems to be more of a rant than anything else but you did indeed help. My taxes are done for this year and perhaps next year I will give Turbotax a look... If I'm still allowed to use my ancient computer in a world of things that change for no reason other than to satisfy the programming comunity's need to foist "new" on the hapless masses.
