The thing is, my company probably doesn't want my side projects. I'm not just a programmer; I make music, photography, art, etc. If they owned that stuff, it would just wither away in a dark corner because they wouldn't hav

So does TurboTax. Every time I've used that product, the IRS actually sent me a letter back saying "you calculated your taxes wrong, here's some extra money we owe you." Never had that problem when using TaxAct, and I us
