Turbo Tax
We received a letter in the mail yesterday from the good ol' IRS. Apparently Turbo Tax did not properly move some data to the right place on my 1040 for 2009. I called Turbo Tax and they claim they only guarantee the calculations are correct, not the data entered. I can see where they are coming from, but it was clearly a data 'calculation' in my eyes. I entered the data, yet Turbo Tax did not properly fill in the forms.
So now we owe the government money - so much that we have no way of paying it off at this time. So we will be forever riddled in the penalties, late fees, and accrued interest. Thanks a lot, Turbo Tax! No summer vacation this year, or probably the next 3 or 4 years. BERVERLY!
I feel your pain. I got a nasty letter from the IRS re:2009. It sucks.
Great...I used Turbo Tax last year...but paid as opposed to got a refund....
Wondering when that nice little letter hits me---of course, I do everything paper, and don't do anything electronically...
To the Agent who decided to superglue the bottom plates of his pistol magazines to "keep them from falling off", and then bringing it to me (your friendly neighborhood armorer) to fix when it hangs in the gun...then stand there and complain about me yanking it off with vice grips...
Let me guess.... not thumbs?

My typical job is a Electronics Technician for an R&D group with Siemens. But as of last June I also became responsible to create Test PC's for Software Development and Test.
I worked for about a week getting 4 PC's setup for Victor,Dave,Scott and Kelli...Had 2 done and deployed with 5 images with different flavors or Windows 7 and XP...each with a unique PC name and Login.
Was in the middle of fixing #3 for Scott...when the manager for these people comes buy to see how I'm doing...he's like...These are supposed to goto John, Susan,Danny and Dave...I'm thinking well at least I got one right.
I was like how was I supposed to know this...the only request I had came from Victor...and his Test Group had some serious communication issues. He told me to stop and he would get back to me...3 weeks later he finally tells me that indeed they need to goto the last set of 4 and Danny would contact me with the detail. Turns out I need 13 different OS images for each PC...and they want them stat cause the Manager sat on it for 3 weeks.
Finaly got all 13 Images (7 Win7; 4 Vista; 2 XP) working on one PC...now I just need to roll it out to the other 3 PCs...but they wanted them about a week ago...oh well.
So I'm sitting in the airport after driving an hour to get here at 0530. My flight out of my home airport this AM was cancelled last PM. I had to pay extra for my bag. Security sucks. Now they are saying the flight is overbooked and overweight and trying to thin the herd. Peanut butter beverly AA!

13 images on one box?? WTB?!? (What The Beverly) That's... just.... SICK. I don't even want to know why. Do you have Ghost or something to clone the drives?
Yes Ghost...
My work place does both Industrial PLC Hardware development/testing...but also the ever growing brach of this outfit is Software development.
They have a new release of a Programming package which MUST be compatable and support the following Operating systems.
XP Home and Professional (32bit)
Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Ultimate (32 bit)
Win 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Prof, Ultimate (32bit)
Win7 Home Premium, Prof, Ultimate (64bit)
I had no images for the particular PC type they wanted to test on...so I had to build them from scratch.
All I can say is at least I don't have to do the testing.
