Turbo Tax Melts Down on Tax Day

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the procrastinators-in-a-pinch dept.

Raven17 writes "Turbo Tax by Intuit completely melted down under the load from last minute filers. Some people have been having problems as long as 24 hours already. I surrendered 2 hours before the East Coast deadline and schlepped on down to the Post Office."

    All true, but the fact that people wait until the deadline is not news. True. A woman from the IRS said (IIRC) that almost 20% of filer wait until the last day.

    They procrastinated, and it backfired.

    If you wait till the last minute to go to an airport, you'll miss your plane.
    If you wait till the last minute to file your taxes - wait a minute, get this: you'll miss the deadline.
