Another lesson for end users..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

It’s April 14th. Your taxes are due tomorrow. You decided last night, the 13th, that maybe, just maybe you should download some tax software to file your taxes online. You have problems with said tax software. You don’t call their support line, you wait until the next day to ask the IT guy in the office about it. He’s going to tell you to call the support line because 1) he doesn’t really use tax software and can’t troubleshoot it from the office when it’s on your home computer anyway, and 2) there are people who get paid to help you use the software, and he’s not one of them!

You just wasted a whole day. You only have one more day to get your taxes filed. Good luck!
