I have no problem mailing it in.
I was just surprised to see what they charge for the "convenience" fee.

The other slap in the face is that the state isn't processing the online payments themselves (which would have meant hiring someone IN Massachusetts) but rather send the business to another state.

So we are basically paying another state to process our state tax payment.

And the state is still scratching their empty heads wondering why they're always broke???

I am a legend in my own mind!
