Here's something scary - they were experimenting with online taxes. You could scan in your documents and someone God knows where would complete your return for you to sign off on. Just what everyone wants - a 15 year old in India fucking up your taxes. We were having normal tax pros doing the work this year but that's just too easy to outsource.
