Bad App Causes $900 Million Bill Pay Blunder
David trades his lottery winnings for Bitcoin - will he be the next zillionaire? We're talking tax, including why lawmakers are starting to complain about a slow start to tax season, and how proposed legislation will dramatically increase IRS audits on the wealthy and corporations. We're also examining how to take control of your calendar in busy season, and what CPAs would do if they had more time. In app news, we ponder how Citigroup accidentally paid off a $900 million loan due to a horrible app, and talk about tax zapper software that's costing states hundreds of millions in lost sales tax revenue. We'll check out PayPal's plan for world super-app domination, acquisitions by Amazon, and Cin7, and so much more!
