Ok, I expect this is one to be put in the “see what you get when you leave it to the last minute” file, but the internet gods are conspiring against me (and I expect hundreds of others) today as we try to get our taxes in on time.
As if it wasn’t bad enough that Revenue Canada, in their inimitable and unassailable way, lied on their web pages when they said that operators were available on the weekend to answer questions (they are not, at all, for individual run businesses, and if they are for private individuals I’d love to hear from someone who got through, it rang busy for 2 days straight for me).
No, that clearly wasn’t enough hassle. Now Quicktax, my former online tax preparation service of choice, goes down on April 29th, the day before taxes are due in Canada. Uggghhh!!!! I can just see the conversation now – “whaddya mean I was supposed to be keeping track of disk space; that’s your job!”
What was that about the only other certain thing in life besides taxes – oh yeah, the intransigence of IT departments everywhere 😉
