a tiny tiny interest, does business in all 50 states. That is the likely cause of 60 of the 67 pages and what precludes me from efiling a state return. I thought that was pretty clear in my OP, but I guess you see what you want to see...

It was a complaint, not a brag. People sure are interesting how they react to things.
