Geithner Links Woes to Tax Software Used by 18 Million Americans..

As a software developer, if I was Intuit I'd be pretty pissed.  You're an idiot, don't blame the software.

Ok....


So some financial GENIUS that EVERYONE says would be GREAT for the IRS can't even work software correctly?


Yeah, I'd stick with the "I forgot I had to pay." excuse, it is more plausible  :censored:.

I've used their software for the last 5 years with no problems.

I've used it with no problems at all.  And like Tess said...if he's  too stupid to figure out Turbo Tax, I sure don't want him running the Treasury Dept!

Why sue when they can use it for advertising:
"For years, we at Turbotax have told you that we would get you the maximum refund you can get.  For proof, look to one of our clients, Secretary of the Treasury Geitner, who used our software to get a 100% refund, and not just one year, but four years running!"

I'm sure he is just only slightly below the MSM/Democrat-aggrandizement level of "financial genius" that is required to operate the TurboTax program.

Im not exactly sure why a financial genius would use tax filing software - should take him no time to file the old fashioned way.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
