Bing Targets Tax Time

It's tax time again -- that time of year which is the dreaded by pretty much everyone -- which means tax forms, tax forms, and more tax forms. To that end, Bing says it has rolled out a new tax section on the search engine to help people get to tax forms and information more quickly, automatically linking to tax forms, mailing addresses, e-File information, and more on the service. According to Bing--which is part of Microsoft--it decided to launch the special tax section after it realized that there was a spike in searching for tax information between January and April, with the "vast majority" of users looking for tax forms.
