So, about 5 to 10 minutes into my journey to work today, I hear the *ding* *ding* *ding* sound of my car trying to tell me to check my tire pressure, and the car starts to handle a little oddly. So I pull into a convenient parking lot at Ted’s and discover that I do, in fact, have a flat front right tire. What a wonderful way to start the day. :)
(This is from memory, so I’m paraphrasing, but this is pretty close.)
“You must make the following declaration: You swear under penalty of perjury that the information you’ve provided here is correct. To make this declaration, press 1.” — The Massachusetts Telefile system
I have to wonder just how legally enforceable that is.
Also, for federal taxes, I’d like to recommend TaxAct, because they’re free (without the income limits the other online providers have for free services). They just really, really, really try to upsell you to their “deluxe” and state tax products. I had a pretty good experience with them. And, I just can’t bring myself to pay any money, to anybody, just to get back what’s already mine, and been mine all along.
