Aw crap. I use TaxAct to prepare client returns . . . I sincerely hope that this is only happening with their free online tax prep tools for the public and not with the paid preparer software. I may go old school and recommend paper filing by snail mail this coming year.

It's only fitting they call them algorithms in honor of al gore inventing the internet...

I'm pretty sure everyone knows this. They would actually be more surprised at how little their existence is in the grand scheme of things.
