Check this out. When asked by Grassley if he used tax software, he emphatically states that the problem is his fault and not the fault of the software. Then Grassley asks him if the software asked him about the additional income. He replies: "Not to my recollection."
So which is it? The software's fault or his?
He must have had the version “Turbo Tax Evasion”.
Do this:
Call your Senators.
Do it NOW!
I’ve used TurboTax for self-employment income for a decade or so now. The only way to fail to calculate self-employment taxes is to enter inaccurate numbers for your self-employment income. He’s a liar and a tax cheat.
Now in addition to a tax cheat and stupid Treasury secretary. We have a liar and perjurer..
It isn’t the crime its the coverup that gets people in trouble..
What senators learned at the gathering was not only that Geithner had failed to pay self-employment taxes during his time at the International Monetary Fund. They learned that the IMF had repeatedly informed Geithner, as it had all its employees, of his obligation to pay that tax. They learned that Geithner signed documents saying he would pay the tax. And they learned that Geithner accepted IMF reimbursement for Social Security and Medicare taxes that he had not, in fact, paid.
And Hillary was approved 98 - 2.............Evidently the GOPsters who voted for her have no problems with conflict of interest.............

“”Which is it? Is Geithner a total idiot? Or is he crooked?””
And not one Senator on the panel asked him what he did with the reimbursement of the FICA and Medicare taxes paid to him by the IMF. We’re surrounded by idiots!
Prolly used it to pay for his kids' sleep-away camp......that he deducted as "child care expenses."
Evidently the GOPsters who voted for her have no problems with conflict of interest.............

I think trying to apply any kind of ethical reasoning to Washington as a whole, is now a mistake. I feel to analyze their actions, you must think like them. And that takes a considerable degredation in morals, ethics, honesty, patriotism, and care for America.....
I have long ago given up using tax software on even my simple finances and if the Sec. of the Treasury doesn’t have his taxes professionally prepared he is too dumb for the office.
Yep -- lying cheat ... and looking to blame Intuit.
I have started asking people I talk with if they trust government. I rarely get a yes. When I do, it is a qualified yes.
Lyin’ piece of crap.
If I was running Turbo Tax I wouldn’t let this stand. Your right they need to get out there and defend themselves on TV.
They should do something.........

Shares of Inuit fell to their low on the day on strong volume after Treasury Secretary nominee Timothy Geithner reluctantly admitted during testimony before the Senate Finance Committee that he used the company’s TurboTax software to prepare his returns.
Called both my Senators today, but, one is Whorehouse Harry and he says it is only a hiccup.
He didn’t explain why he IGNORED the IRS letter says the taxes were overdue.
This is why I laughed when he said it was “unavoidable”. Liberals cannot accept responsibility.
I use Turbo Tax. It’s a good program and pretty much idiot proof.
The last sentence in the press release nails it; Geither overrode the system or ignored error messages.
