I pulled up the AGI in taxcut 2005 (still installed) and did an override
and keyed that in and re-submitted.

Rejected again.

So taxcut 2005 and 2006 can't even agree on what my AGI was for last
year and they're BOTH wrong.

I got the correct number without the "benefit" of software and submitted that
and it was accepted.

I submitted my taxes electronically last year using that exact
installed copy of taxcut 05
and that exact .T05 save file.

They'll probably audit me now.

Ok, I'll give it a shot next year.  I just hope Taxcut 06 saved the right AGI
number because I plan on importing my Taxcut06 into Turbo Tax 07.

I hope mine doesn't have any errors.  So far I'm not convinced!
