H&R block

H&R block has decided to start charging for access to past years' tax returns:

"Our H&R Block Free Edition customers don't get free storage. But you can still access your prior-year return.

2008 return Only $9.95"

Jerks.

I don't like to be one of those anticapitalist hippies but it's shit like this that makes me upset that you can't just deal directly with the government in question.
