[vox-tech] california taxes online

[Peter Jay Salzman]

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.  :)
