The dunce cap There were plenty of reasons to give Bill Cobb a longevity gaffe award long before last week. Over the past decade or so, his company has allowed Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: INTU ) to completely steal the show when it comes to tax preparation software. According to COMSCORE, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCOR), TurboTax accounted for 59.8% of all DIY tax preparation last year with H&R Block, Inc. (NYSE:HRB)'s 14.7% market share even coming in behind Blucora Inc (NASDAQ: BCOR ) 's (formerly InfoSpace) TaxAct, which notched 17.7% of all DIY tax-prep market share. H&R Block lingered too long onto its bricks-and-mortar locations which still act as a drag on its operational performance.
