Two interesting tidbits about Intuit and taxes.

* Intuit is one of the original users of AWS. Amazon has peak server requirements in Nov/Dec, and Intuit has peak server requirements in March/April. A server sharing system was a natural move for Intuit.

* Intuit's fiscal year ends in Q2, because of how important tax season is for their revenue. It's really a make or break season for them, and all of their customers are stressed out too.
