Heres a little nugget of fun from a tax pro group on FB

What kind of pros is Intuit hiring to work for TT?

[rcooley25]

And to think I was considering applying for a job there.

That's not true.  I told the guy how to put it on the 4797.

That's some shady sh!+

Initially they had the requirements that those folks had to be EAs or CPAs.  Evidently they ran a little short of EAs and CPAs jumping into the interview pool.  Now the interview process is:

Intuit HR - "Do you have a pulse"

Applicant - "I think so"

Intuit HR - "Welcome to the Intuit Team"

well it is an easy way to get a t-shirt and a yeti!!

I've got one that is in the programming part of TT.  Mother of one of my clients had her son compile it on the free TT software.   My client brought in the cover letter Showing her Mom owing about $1,400 dollars, and my client the daughter, thinks it is wrong. So, being the pushover that I am, I offer to look over it, with  them in the office. I input every bit of information, and i can only get to about a $400 liability.  And the AGI is about $7k more than I can compute.  So then they bring back the 'guts' of the TT return. and  Line 5a has like $20,800, but the taxable amount line 5b is like $26,000. of course that impacted taxable amount of SS, to get to the difference in our returns.  I've been ding this about 4 decades, but i'm pretty sure that I've never had the taxable amount of a pension, be actually more that the total distribution.  and this passed TT error check.

I’m too scared to check myself ————— does that input scenario pass ProSeries error checking? 😰

@IRonMaN that's the first thing I did when I saw what had happened. The absolute first thing, even before I took my next breath..  Fortunately, ProSeries will NOT let that bug happen, although there are enough others for a large pesticide company.
