First TurboTax made tax preparation easier; now they are making it sexier:

"Hi, sexy. Welcome to Intimate Encounters."

Not exactly the kind of message you expect to hear in the middle of doing your taxes, but that's just what some TurboTax customers are getting as they try to set up their state returns.

A message in the business version of Intuit's market-leading tax preparation software erroneously directs customers to a sex talk operation.

The message pops up when TurboTax Business users advance to their state tax return and decide they need to file for more than the single state return supported in the product. The message in the software tells them they can purchase software for additional states, at $30 each, online or by calling an 800 number.

That number goes straight to Intimate Encounters, which bills itself as "the exciting new way to go live, one-on-one, with hot...girls waiting to talk with you." The pre-recorded message on the site makes no mention of tax preparation services, although you never know what you can get for 99 cents a minute.

Which leads us to the question that all of us are thinking...are callers allowed to deduct the price of the phone call?

Might this be the new strategy of the Phone Sex industry? Paying legitimate companies to make 'mistakes' when they publish their phone number? It is definitely becoming a trend.
