"The world is a better place for the tax procrastinator in 2003. There are a number of options that would allow most filers to think about taxes for the first time at around 7:00 in the evening on April 15th and still comfortably make the deadline. Intuit offers an ASP version of their TurboTax product or you can download Turbotax Basic directly from Intuit's website."
