Tax software has become an annual part of many taxpayers' lives. While many professional preparers are required to file their clients' tax returns electronically, individual filers increasingly rely on tax software as well. The latest IRS data indicate that in 2009 more than 30 million individual tax returns were filed from home computers (“E-file Hits Record 90 Million; 30 Million Filed from Home Computers,” IR-2009-046). Despite the popularity of tax programs, perceptions of the software's usefulness and reliability vary. Just recently, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner blamed TurboTax software for his failure to pay self-employment taxes for the years he worked at the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
