Yesterday, I did my taxes. At the end, Turbotax has this "things we noticed" review bit. The first box was to the effect of "we notice that your gross income for 2011 is several thousand dollars less than last year, but that you have listed no lifestyle or employment changes, are you sure you've entered this correctlty?" The second box was "we notice that you have included multiple thousands of dollars in medical deductables and did not last year, are you certain this has been entered correctly?"
While I'm perfectly aware that this is an automated thing that only looks at the individual sections as opposed to correlations and possible cause-effect situations, it inspires such a "well, you know..." reaction.
