@pluralistic I just filed my taxes in #Norway. 5 minutes to skim the pre-filled form, accept with no changes, submit.
#FreeFile #Intuit #IRS
Was pleased to see they had all the deductions already filled in. If I'd had an expensive commute for work, I'd have been able submit receipts to get a deduction above the standard minimum. Same with any non-electronic transactions I might have had. I don't , so I didn't.

it's #ustax season, so time for your annual reminder of just HOW F&Y*ing bad financial institutions are at security policy. For example, just now, attempting to add #2FA via auth app (because hardware key not a thing), and they insist on adding a bloody phone number as the PRIMARY two factor option. I mean how bad can you be at this. looking at you #intuit

How is #Intuit so bad at everything except, seemingly, income-tax software?
They spammed me today at an email address which to my knowledge has never had an Intuit account associated with it. When I click the unsubscribe link it brings me to their login page. But I can't log in with that email address—no account!—so I can't unsubscribe.
This is both stupid and illegal; working unsubscribe links are a requirement of the CAN-SPAM act.
I sent them a #privacy complaint. We'll see what happens.

CEO, meet Streisand Effect...

(We declined.)

People with that CEO's mentality never seem to get it that if you don't want people knowing that you said something damning, then it's totally on you not to say it in the first damn place -- because asking (or, worse, demanding) that it not be repeated is even more damning.

...and I've always said -- since, like, the 1990s -- that income taxes should be, by default, the government sends you a fully-accounted bill and you either pay it or dispute it.

[waits for someone to note that this would cost jobs in the massive tax-preparation industry...]

So #Intuit called those 1,600 people that they laid off 'underperformers'.

What an absolute dick move. It's hard for some people to find work, for these people it will be now harder.

Remember kids. Your company's != Family. They'll throw you under the bus without pity or remorse.
