I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I've used TaxACT, Turbotax and HRBlock, and I found HRBlock to be significantly less irritating than the previous two.

Also, it's worth checking your state's income tax filing website (should you have to pay state income tax) because they may have a list of filing entities they've arranged free state filing with (generally under a certain income). Oregon does this, and it's meant I have had to pay to file state/fed for many years.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We use HRBlock online too. It's very easy to use, and they remember our information year-on-year so we only have to enter new things.

Hey. New board.

We use taxact online, but I haven't really compared to others. I find it mildly annoying at times but I've mostly figured it out, so I doubt I'll change any time soon. I have never run into anything it couldn't handle (mortgage interest and normal deductions are fine) though sometimes there were some head-scratching moments.

Where am I supposed to get batteries for my car alarm fob next time I need them?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Amazon. :)

Actually, as I understand it, they are trying to keep the stores they have left by partnering up with Sprint,so they may not be going away completely.
