Apparently TurboTax tweaked the 2009 version of their software to prevent anyone from claiming, as Tim Geithner did during his nomination, that they failed to report self-employment income because of TurboTax. Because, after all, it was Geithner’s fault that he hadn’t payed his taxes, not TurboTax’s.

(Or the Hines Ward Rule.)
