Detail fail

Every page of an online tax website is an advertisement for the company's competence and accuracy. Quoth Taxslayer.com:

If you received a distribution from a retirement account (such as a pension, annuity, IRA, or even an insurance contract), you should receive a Form 1099-R that reports all of the pertinent tax information. If your distribution came from a Railroad Retiremnt account, the form would not be Form 1099-R, but RRB-1099-R.

If they can't be trusted in little things...

Meanwhile, here's a grocer's apostrophe at taxactonline.com (I'll give them a pass on "guess work" and general fuzzy construction or I'll never finish my taxes)

Donation Assistant let's you accurately track your donations and, based on condition, provides you with certified resale values for nearly 700 items commonly donated to charity - helping you to eliminate guess work and put more cash in your wallet.
