Comment on Turbotax Is Miscalculating Tax Returns by Lesley

this is very intersting. Charles, whatever happened to you? We got the same letter from the IRS for a 2009 return and Turbo Tax doubled the interest. I filed a formal complaint and Turbo Tax sent me a letter stating that after their research the doubling was no fault of their own (incorrect!) so they are not helping me with the $2300 I had to pay the IRS due to their error. After 1 1/2 hours on the phone with them today I was told the gentleman “Roger B” who made the decision made it and it is final, there is no one at TurboTax I can go to to further my complaint or get a resolution. I am so frustrated and upset at this point, wondering if legal action would help, especially after seeing everyone elses stories here. Any advice appreciated!

I focused on #2 and #4 on my most recent blog post, but I think that all of these tips are helpful ways to take advantage of last minute tax savings.

I especially like the idea of funding a retirement plan. When I was fired from my “regular” job, I took all of my 401k money out. Because I haven’t yet settled into the self-employed way of life yet (from a financial perspective), I haven’t yet started saving any retirement money. That would be a good one for me to focus on, but I don’t think it’s time for it just yet…sadly…
