OhM Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) Can you find the error in this HR Block tax video? Hint: not a tax-related error. And your middle schooler can probably find it. (It's within the first minute.) Aaaaargh. Stuff like this makes me crazy. (Doing taxes makes me crazy. Seeing errors like this makes me crazier!):glare: Edited February 8, 2010 by OhM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

********* Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Was the mistake that they show $10,000 as being 30 percent of $30,000? 'Cause I think 30 percent of $30,000 would be $9,000, not $10,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda in VT Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 That $10,000 is not 30% of $20,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 What's that show? Are you smarter than a 5th grader? I didn't catch the mistake, even looking for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiller Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Okay, help me out here. . . she states that "you can claim a credit and get back up to 30% of the cost of the improvement" and she shows a possible credit of $10,000 BUT she then goes on the say that although this credit is more generous than before there is a "cap of $1500 on the credit for 2009 and 2010 combined" SO the most you will get back is $1500. PERIOD!!! Why do they show a 30% credit of $10,000?? If the most you would be able to get is $1500??? Seems downright deceptive to me.

Usually you can roll the credit over to another year until you get the entire amount. But I don't know the details on this specific instance.
