I will be boycotting TurboTax this year. Their latest ad campaign[1] is particularly egregious. It claims that (with TurboTax's help) "people can be good at anything... even taxes". Given the amount of lobbying that Intuit does to make taxes more complicated, this message is disingenuous at best.

So the dichotomy between the advertising and the actual actions is what caused you to boycott in this particular year? Whereas before you didn't care?
I've actually been avoiding TurboTax for about 3 years now. Mostly due to dissatisfaction with their lobbying policy.
