| Hot off the presses-- taxpayer blames TurboTax for years of incorrect returns and then uses the "Timothy Geithner" defense, as in "Treasury Secretary Timothy Geitner admitted screwing up his own returns on TurboTax and almost lost the nomination!"

| Thanks Death-- I didn't see that thread. It was in the most recent issue of TaxPro Monthly, but Dave beat me to the punch. | |
