Okay, so it has been made very clear that (especially for those of us that set up a Mint account before they were bought by Intuit) that Intuit cannot merge the accounts on the backend for our convenience. This totally sucks. But in the interest of not having the hassle of dealing with my very-confused password manager EVERY SINGLE F'ING TIME I LOG IN TO EITHER SERVICE I think that I will probably download all my past tax returns from turbotax and delete that account, then link my mint account with turbotax. Why? Because I think that entering in my family's info, addresses, and employer IDs for next year's taxes is going to be WAY EASIER than adding 15 different bank / mortgage/ loan/ car/ etc accounts.
But really, I think what we have all been looking for from Intuit regarding this problem is to just say, "Wow, you know what? You are right. You have been our customers for a really long time and to be honest we are really sorry that we can't merge the accounts and we really wish we could and you have every right to be mad and disappointed, especially since we cannot give you an exact technical or legal reason as to why we can't do it. "
That would be really nice, you know? Just an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that this is actually a real problem for a lot of people and that it sucks that you can't or won't fix it.
Thanks.
