MSB Student Binges on TurboTax

By

HARIRI — In an unprecedented display of self-gratification and “just treating myself for once,” McDonough School of Business sophomore Jeremy Ashcliff spent the entirety of last Tuesday binging on TurboTax, multiple sources exclusively confirmed to The Georgetown Heckler.

“I had a bunch of classes that I had to attend, but the new set of available tax forms and bug fixes had just been released.  I planned on just filing out one quick W-4 before going to Business Statistics, but once I did that I just had to fill out the next. Before I knew it, I had gone through all of them the day was over,” said Ashcroft.  “But you’ve got to check out Form 4868.  There’s a crazy twist that you have to see.”

Upon completion of every available tax form, Ashcliff proceeded to spend an additional hour browsing TurboTax fan forums for theories on the software’s progression and what next season’s TurboTax release may entail.  “I can’t believe that I have to wait another full year for the next update, but with the way that the 1099 ended… I mean, I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but let’s just say that this most recent TurboTax release ended with a pretty crazy cliffhanger.”

At press time, an excited Ashcliff was gathering supplies for an afternoon of cosplaying at his local mall as a pie chart.
