Yeah, and I used Flight Simulator 2004!
Just another beautiful slimebag selection for the Obama administration. I guess when you are mentored by, and associated with, thugs and criminals, you just get used to having lots of them around you.....
Yeah, and I used Flight Simulator 2004!
I use Turbo Tax and it asks for additional income what a liar he is
ROFLMAO ...
Doesn’t matter. He had the 1099 in his hands. He is a lying cheat!
Intuit issues a press release today refuting him. Here’s a good commentarty from Karl Denninger:
Hehehehehee......
“SAN DIEGO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU - News) today released the following statement responding to Capitol Hill testimony by Treasury Secretary-designee Tim Geithner regarding his use of TurboTax software. It can be attributed to Dan Maurer, senior vice president and general manager of TurboTax.
Each year, millions of Americans use TurboTax to accurately prepare and file their federal and state tax returns. The software helps taxpayers report their income and find the deductions and credits they’re entitled to claim.
“TurboTax, and all software and in-person tax preparation services, base their calculations on the information users provide when completing their returns. TurboTax also has built-in error-checking tools that routinely catch common taxpayer mistakes.”
Yes, I emailed Intuit when I heard Geithner’s testimony.
I know for a fact that TurboTax will throw up on you if you enter a W2 with a ZERO for withheld FICA tax. You can continue and force it to accept your “zero” FICA withholding but it does throw an exception at you, since that usually is a mistake (you fat-fingered the data entry.)
I have personally used TurboTax for roughly the last ten years and have filed and paid SE tax when appropriate.
Draw your own conclusions......
Treasury..?????? This guy is an outright boob.
Lemme get this straight: He’s saying Turbo Tax didn’t ask him to pay taxes on the IMF income? What kind of bozo believes that? His defense is that if TT would have asked him to pay the taxes, he would have?
Whatta dork....
I use Turbotax. And yes, it asks about “other” income.
I just get a very palpable weasel-vibe from this guy.

I sure would like Turbo Tax to come to the front of the class and explain how detailed their software is on the topic of 1099 recipients.
This jackass flaunted his responsibility.
Now he is trying to blame software????
Please, Turbo Tax: Get on O”Reily or on Rush and explain how this moron ignored the instructions!!! Please!!
I’m just glad to know how seriously to take our federal taxes. I had been under a mistaken impression all these years.
I found it amusing he apologized but said it was :unavoidable”.
Turbo Tax should sue him.
He must have had the version “Turbo Tax Evasion”.

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.
Lyin’ piece of crap.
