It's Turbotax Timmy!

January 11, 2010

Vox Populi:

Yes, our readers have overwhelmingly chosen the Treasury Secretary, who famously omitted thousands of dollars of taxes from his returns and blamed his tax software. He easily outpaced a strong field to become the Tax Update's 2009 Taxpayer of the Year. While he gets no cash as a result, the prestige of the award is truly immeasurable.

William Halby, the tax lawyer who deducted over $100,000 of money he spent on prostitutes as a "medical expense," made an impressive showing towards the end of the polling, but he couldn't catch up with our Turbotax Treasury Secretary.
