True, although the initial release seems to be complete enough for returns like
mine (1040 with itemized deductions).  I don't need all those fancy forms and
probably won't for a while. The February update I received last time didn't make
any difference in the bottom line.

I usually don't wait for the W-4s before I start working on my taxes.  Right
now I have everything ready to go.  I just have to enter and/or check the
numbers as the supporting documents start rolling in.  I won't file till the
last minute though...I usually owe something.
