We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.īut you know what? We change lives. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest.

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.” My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. “Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. New (but unhappy) TurboTax customers are thus better off turning to H&R Block's freebie offer.Ībout a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

Both the free upgrade and the rebate from Intuit are only available to existing TurboTax customers who used TurboTax Deluxe to file their 2013 tax returns.

(The $25 rebate is still available until April 20 for customers who have already upgraded.) He further stated that next year's Deluxe software will include the absent forms.īut not everyone is eligible for these promotions. This isn't available yet, but Intuit CEO Brad Smith said in a YouTube video that the company is moving quickly and will notify customers as soon as the change is live. The company has now announced that customers will also be allowed to upgrade from within TurboTax Deluxe for free, allowing them access to the removed forms.

The continuing negative response from customers - and the aggressive move by a competitor - has spurred Intuit to greater action. (While there haven't been any major changes to TurboTax Basic, H&R seems to be including that tier in its offer.) Intuit Tries Again, Announces Free Upgrades for 2013 Filers

Many were also unhappy because claiming the rebate required customers to complete their taxes and e-file before applying.Ĭompetitor H&R Block took advantage of the situation and offered its own deluxe software - including the missing forms - for free to disgruntled TurboTax customers who email with their name, address, phone number, operating system, and proof of purchase for TurboTax Deluxe or Basic for 2014, such as a photo of a receipt for the software.

Intuit did temporarily cut the prices on these products, allowing some users to make money from the rebate, but this didn't last users upgrading today would lose out by $5 after the rebate if upgrading to Premier, or $10 if upgrading to Home & Business. However, customers who do need these forms were thus required to pay extra money to upgrade their software before filing, an unwelcome surprise for those who had used the Deluxe software successfully in the past.įor example, customers who needed the Schedule C tax forms had to upgrade to the Home & Business version and may have paid up to an additional $40. If these don't apply to you, then you might not take issue with this year's software. These attachments to the Form 1040 Tax Return are used to report income and expenses for self-employed individuals (Schedule C), to compute capital gains and losses (Schedule D), and to report income and expenses from rental property, trusts, or estates (Schedule E). This change doesn't negatively affect everyone, however. This year, however, Intuit removed these forms for 2014 returns using Deluxe, placing them in the more expensive TurboTax Premier or TurboTax Home & Business software tiers. Intuit has scrambled to make good with users though, and in a final bid to win back unhappy customers, it's now offering a freebie - for some of us.īut what exactly has made everyone so upset, and how do you know if you qualify for the promotion? Users Had to Pay for Access to Certain Formsįor users who filed their 2013 returns using TurboTax Deluxe software, schedule C, D, and E tax forms were included with the price. The company made some unpopular changes to its tax return software this year, which has resulted in a customer backlash that has dropped 2014 TurboTax Deluxe software to a meager 2-star rating on Amazon.
