FYI, be careful if you use the automated W2 and other information import feature. It bit me a few minutes ago.

Spending the snow bound Sunday knocking out my taxes. Did the import and entered everything else like normal.

Turned out that my Federal refund was more than expected, and I started planning some serious tackle buys. :D :D :D

On the review I accidently noticed that the program said I had $Millions in State taxes with held. :eek: WTF?! Took a little while then I discovered that on the import it counted everything, including cents, as dollars. :mad:

I did an override and manually entered it correctly... and then I watched my wonderful refund vanish into thin air. So much for that custom. :( :( :(

If you use the import, check it closely!

Even more irritating... it won't let me E-File because it says I have an error in my return. THE ERROR IS ME MANUALLY FIXING TURBO'S ERROR. Bassturds. :mad:

Last time I do the "We'll Save You Some Time By Importing The Numbers For You" routine. Wish I could make Turbo on the hook for the $4+ million state tax refund they want me to file for, and won't let me change gracefully so I can E-File. Bassturds.

Guess I'll start all over again another day. Bassturds.
