As US House Republicans have decided to squeeze the taxpayers for the cost of defending the federal denial of recognition of same-sex marriage, one of the nation's largest tax software companies have given up trying to be fair:
Turbo Tax, the software program that's having trouble handling your queer marriages and domestic partnerships because of all these confusing state and federal filing requirements, is no longer even going to pretend it can get a handle on what paperwork needs to be filed for America's gays. "Turbo Tax had said that their March 10th update would allow those of us in Domestic Partnerships in community property states file with their software," relays Reddit user jbhelms. "They have now reversed that and said you can either do it by hand in the software or hire a professional for more complicated issues. I called this morning and they issued me a refund without any issues." So a refund is nice. What would be nicer: simplified (and non-discriminatory) tax rules for gay couples across the land, so e-filing really is as easy as a couple of clicks.
