The American Civil Liberties Union sent a demand letter to H&R Block this week demanding that it change its online tax preparation system to accommodate gay couples in Connecticut with civil unions.

The ACLU is representing a couple with a civil union who attempted to file their taxes on the company's website through their online service, TaxCut Online, but were told, "We don't support Connecticut civil union returns."
