Lee B Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 The Minnesota Dept of Revenue issued a news release today that said that the returns they had been receiving prepared with Intuit Tax Software Programs (listed all programs) contaned numerous and multiple errors. They said that if Intuit doesn't fix these problems quickly, that they would have no choice but to stop processing all tax returns prepared with Intuit programs. Unbelievable! You can't make this stuff up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogTom Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Sorry I doubted you. So I went to the website, and sure enough, they are calling out Intuit. Named all their products. It is in the newsroom section of their website. Cool. Just wish it was the state republic of CA that did this. Tom Hollister, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jainen Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 >>I doubted you<< I'm not convinced yet. It seems like a very odd thing for a press officer to threaten a major corporation without reference to her own executives. The announcement says that Intuit itself identified the errors, but I use an Intuit product and the company has not mentioned MN in its daily alerts and updates. The announcement does not actually say the taxing agency has confirmed any specific problem. The letter lacks the footer that other news releases have, so it might be hacked.

jklcpa Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 This is on the intuit community forum, appearing to be answered by a host. Maybe that was hacked also?http://community.intuit.com/posts/minnesota-in-having-a-conference-call-at-5-pm-today-regarding-intuit-with-lacerte-proseries-and-turbo-tax-they-are-requesting-we-dont-file-anymore-minnesota-state-returns-because-of-multiple-errors-what-is-going-onGoogling "Intuit & Minnesota" brings up all kinds of news agency links to articles. Those might be in error too, I suppose. It wouldn't be the first time news publications and websites reported something in error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 FYI, I copied the news release from the Minnesota Department of Revenue Website, which might have been hacked by a mad Ukrainian. It was very easy to find a long list of posts on both the Intuit Community and the ProSeries Community. Keep your head down, the black helicopters are flying low tonight. Copied form the Intuit Community: I've tried 3 times to copy/paste what MN Revenue sent me- Intuit doesn't like copy/paste. So I'll try again in my own words. Problems with State Election Campaign Fund selections, Educational subtraction (Form M1M), Property Refund calculation (Form M1PR), Property Tax direct deposit election (Form M1PR), Child and Dependent Care Credit (Form M1CD), Marriage Credit (Form M1MA), S-Corp Form M8X, Corporate Form (M4A), Fiduciary Schedule KF, and Fiduciary Schedule carryforward. Customer Impact per MN Revenue- Intuit is working with MN Revenue to resolve issues. Suggestion from a Minnesota Tax Preparer to Intuit- get these programming errors fixed, hire competent programmers, work overtime as we do, and be prepared to lose a lot of business as we search for other software over the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the MN department of revenue website for yourself and look under the second tab from the right "Newsroom". Tom Hollister, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
