Adobe Crap-robat Nonsense

Seriously, Adobe? 250MB to install the new frigging bloat-ware piece of crap PDF reader? Requires a SYSTEM reboot!? What on earth is up with this?

And thank YOU, state of Wisconsin, for requiring me to use this wonderful program for my e-filed taxes.

I'll take bloatware over filling out taxes on paper any day of the week.

Problem is, the state of Wisconsin demands you to use Adobe Reader 9.0 in order to file your taxes electronically. Is this thing going to work in that situation?

I don't see how they can tell the difference. Foxit is a 100% Adobe 9.0 compatible reader as far as I know.

PDFs can have embedded forms and can submit things electronically, they could actually have a "Submit" button that will take the data from Acrobat and submit it to their server. I don't think Foxit supports that.

Move to Florida. No state taxes

Yeah but...it's Florida.

No income tax here in TN, either. Although in Nashville, sales tax is 9.25%...but hey, it's deductible from Federal taxes!

No, it will not work for that situation. I suggest upon filing taxes, to promptly remove acrobat and install foxit until next tax season

Wait, state tax is deductible from federal tax?

Sales tax is...at least, that's what TurboTax says. I'm sure a CPA will swoop in here eventually and tell me that I'm wrong, though.

You can choose to either deduct state sales tax or state income tax, but not both.
