bleah. i was able to enter all the information, but the "e-file your return" link doesn't work. at least the form wasn't as long as the federal. :)
i ran tcpdump to see if it might be a firewall issue, as in, perhaps it did something wierd and didn't go over port 80, but no dice. no packets are sent when ever i try to send the form. that totally sucks. i'd be willing to bet that california has one of the highest linux user densities in the country, and it totally SUCKS that we're excluded from using the california tax franchise's online filing. grrrr.... pete begin Peter Jay Salzman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > on page 9 there seems to be a "e-file your return" link. click the link > and it complains that i didn't fill out my name (i didn't fill out > anything. guess it checks the name field first). > > it seems like it would work... guess i'll find out in a bit. :) > > pete > > > begin Stephen M.
