Minneapolis Star Tribune: Don't Use TurboTax, Minnesota Department of Revenue Warns Taxpayers:
Citing "multiple issues with the products", the Minnesota Department of Revenue issued a crisp statement today urging tax filers to avoid using Intuit products to prepare or file their state income taxes. The products include TurboTax, Lacerte, Intuit online and ProSeries.
The state warned it using the products could "jeopardize the accuracy of your return or delay your return."
In a conference call, the department said there were multiple issues with the software including assigning political contributions to the wrong party, failing to give an education credit for multiple dependents, incorrectly calculating property tax refunds, and a variety of other calculation errors. Some of these issues surfaced just in the past several days, according to Terri Steenblock, assistant commission for the department.
