Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

I had the exact same experience as Dennis when I reported a bug in Turbotax.
Basically Turbotax 2003 screwed up my mortgage interest deduction on amortized points. When I sold my condo last year I was eligible to take that mortgage interest deduction for the point that I paid.
However, it never reported that I paid any points in the year that I got the loan, and didn't amortize anything. As a result the calculations were incorrect (only off by a few dollars) but if I corrected it I would not be able to e-file.
Anyway, the emails they sent me were exactly the same. You cannot respond to them.
