Which may, or may not be, a Good Thing(tm).

Maybe I'm being too paranoid in my old age, but I'm of the opinion 
that this sort of info should not be stored anyplace but my file 
cabinets, and the IRS.  Sure, somebody could break into my place and 
steal my records with an eye toward an identity theft.  But the fact 
that the turbotax site has thousands of peoples records, making it a 
thousand times more attractive taget, and which would be open for the 
taking with a decent effort by some cracker scares me excrementless.  
It should scare you too.
