All of the following have been eliminated as an option:
TaxAct
TurboTax
HRBlock
Taxslayer
ETax
Was a big fan of TurboTax the last 10+ years. They pulled that stunt last year wanting you to purchase add ons etc. Saw all the reviews at Amazon... people were pissed off. What seemed to be a simple $40 product... is now a $70 product with all the upgrades you need.

Last tax season... I switched to H&R Block software. Some dude was selling a copy on EBAY. I was like... I'll give it a shot. It only cost me $20.00 did everything perfectly... Fed State etc. It's the exact same software that TurboTax uses... just without all the fancy bells and whistles.

I'll also check out that link you posted Russian Rocket. Thanks man.
