For this week we had
to look at a Turbo Tax article and the one I have chosen is
http://www.wsj.com/articles/turbotax-suspends-e-filings-on-fraud-concerns-1423269033.
In this article there are a couple things that caught my attention. The first
one is that they stopped accepting Turbo Tax due to false claims. The second
thing is the reaction from honest and possibly dishonest people. The third
thing is the fact that they should have expected something like this to happen.
When Turbo Tax stopped accepting the tax claims it was due
to the fact of false claims. When this happened people freaked because this was
a free way to do your taxes. No one really wants to pay to do their taxes
because no one really likes losing money. I do see why they stopped, but at the
same time they could have just done better scans so honest people didn’t have
to suffer.
The second thing that got me was the reaction. Many people
complained on Facebook and other sites about how they just filed theirs. I was
one who complained because I don't have the money to go get them done and not
doing your taxes is bad. They did start taking them again though which made
things easier, but it still bothered me how we can't have nice things because
of bad people.
the third thing is why didn't they expect something like
this. I mean when you make something illegal to do it gets done anyways. You
outlaw drugs they sell them on the street and out of their homes. You can't
just ban something and then say it won't happen. As I wish that was possible it
just isn't and thats were common sense comes in. As smart at the government
claims they are you would think that this wouldn't even be a problem. This is
money your dealing with and greed is terrible thing to have because it will
make you do not so smart things.
With these things that are in this article it makes me
wonder were this world is going. Like my family says when something goes wrong
in the world it’s going to hell in a handbag. I do wonder how they get away
with this and if they got caught at all. The problem was fixed and Turbo Tax
started taking the claims again, but I can see this happening next year as well
