In the UK we have voice recognition for this. I fought and fought to get access to my tax records without recording my voice, and eventually I was able to.
It's hard to explain to normal people why this kind of thing is potentially a problem. Particularly when it's the taxman, who knows everything about all of us anyway.

Am I the only one that hires someone to do this?

@darkghost : I doubt it. I hired a tax accountant until I retired, and would very much recommend this approach. The accountant saved me way more in unnecessary taxes than I paid her.

@darkghost You're not alone. An accountant did our taxes. It's a long story but I'm not sure they would have noticed the filing screw up if I hadn't gone through this and reported back. We probably could have pressured them a bit more but impatience ruled the day.
No doubt I could have escaped this fate by standing my ground but you have to pick your battles. In the future, I'll just have to contort my face like Tom Cruise in Minority Report.

Well, I had to scan my face so I could log into the IRS. My significant other doesn't seem to appreciate my concern.
