I still file via paper, but might start thinking about filing online next year. It’d be nice for a program to warn me of any errors!

Good thing it was also easy to fix and resubmit!

Imagine a paper return where you had written in the wrong number. Wrong SS numbers are always a red flag and would have had your return pulled possibly leading to an audit. At least it was rejected up front and a quick, easy fix.

I’ll probably just go with TT again.

I usually have me wife (she’s an accountant), give it a once over before I submit mine. Usually she find an error or two, but this year she was spread thin already with other tasks.

I highly doubt that you’ll be making the same mistake again next year.

I’m glad I’m not the only one! Glad yours was easily fixed as well. Taxes make me a nervous wreck!

Congrats on saving $50! I hate paying taxes (like everyone else I’m sure), so yay!!!

We just sent in our return on Friday since we owe money, we wanted to wait until the last minute. I caught one typo in the stock form and remembered that state tax payment from last year is deductible! So I saved another $50. yay!
