Just curious...what year was this, and what was the bug?
- grandalf 11y ago2012 return, I removed a business expense from the return (I thought) but it still sent in the schedule claiming it to offset 1099 income. It was really a UI bug... it's unclear when you start a segment/form that it is going to be part of your return even if you don't finish it or if you think you cancelled out of the wizard. The core issue is the complicated tax code, but the UI that handles making the user aware of dependencies that a) must exist, b) should probably not exist is very weak... all dependencies are considered semi-optional and the only check is the "checking your return" step which did not flag the issue in my return.
- algorithmsRcool 11y agoI've been bitten by some poor TurboTax UI design before. It took me over an hour to figure out how to remove a particular form it had auto imported from the previous year. But aside from that i've been pleased with them. But then again my taxes are very simple.
