Little late but - Taxact Script errors make it unuseable and a ripoff.
Greetings
I realize I am down to the wire, but - arrggghhh! Taxact Plus keeps popping up: Script Error "An error has occurred in the script on this page" Line: 4745 Char : 21 Error "In strict mode, function declarations cannot be nested inside a statement or block. They may only appear at the top level or directly inside a function body. Code: 0 URL: res://TAXACT17.EXE/#23\#1944 And then asks if I want to keep running scripts on this page. Doesn't matter, it then pops up "An error has occurred in the script on this page" Line: :33 Char :487 Error [$injector modulerr]" blah, blah, blah blah on & on to the next screen. Needless to say, this is sub-optimal. Actually, sub-optimal would be an improvement. ****, never mind. That's two hours and 65 bucks down the toilet. -- pyotr filipivich The question was asked: "Is Hindsight overrated?" In retrospect, it appears to be. |

| Taxact Plus keeps popping up: Script Error | On the bright side, you have an extra 2 days this year. The 15th is Sunday, and Monday is Patriots Day, at least in some states. So you only need it postmarked by the 17th. I've always wondered why people need software. I've always done my own taxes and I'm self- employed. Though my return is not as complex as some may be. But it seems to me that getting all the details collected is the main work, and you have to do that either way. On the other hand, if you hoped to cheat then I guess you'd want an accountant. |

Considering that the first three attempt to contact them "by emial" through the website got a "Error 500", I am less than optimistic. It was a great program, and inexpensive. But it's gotten really expensive (for me anyway.) Taxact Plus keeps popping up: Script Error I'm a TurboTax person, myself. -- pyotr filipivich Next month's Panel: Graft - Boon or blessing? |

Not really relevant, IMO, I'm using the downloaded version. Not relevant, either. The errors are obviously dealing with HTML. The downloaded client is apparently just a GUI to a web interface. Change which web browser is the default so you might get the local Taxact client to use a different web browser for its covert Internet connections. Strict mode is a feature of Javascript and Javascript is used in web pages via HTML constructs. res:name is a local resource but it is specified with some HTML code. Looks like that is a lightweight client that provides a GUI to hide it is using a web browser in the background. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/scr...ode-javascript https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...ce/Strict_mode There are lots of HTAs (HTML Applications). Those provide their own frontend GUI but rely on libraries from web browsers for a myriad of functions. This is similar to a large number of media players that have their own GUI but rely on FFMPEG freeware to do the actual work. https://www.taxact.com/system-requirements/ Notice the Internet Explorer 11 requirement. No mention of minimum version for the other web browsers but figure you better be on a version that was released within the last year. They also not that Javascript must be enabled in your [default] web browser. Perhaps you installed an adblocker or otherwise disabled Javascript in the web browser. You might also want to make sure all the local files (cache) have been cleared for your web browsers. |

TurboTax to the rescue. Way too easy to go wrong with paper. I agree, but I wouldn't say it's using paper that can cause you to go wrong. It's doing it manually, rather than using a computer. There are two big advantages of using a computer: 1. The software reminds you of the forms (and parts of forms) that need to be filled out. 2. The software's arithmetic is done correctly. A human's may or may not be. |
