TaxCut doesn't work on OSX w/ Case-sensitive file systems

Posted By on February 20, 2008

Recipe:
(1) Get new OSX
(2) Say “ooh! finally! Case sensitive file systems!”
(3) Get TaxCut 2007
(4) See it crash when it tries to open a file which doesn't exist….
(5) Make a symlink from the file which doesn't exist to the one which does (ln -s F2XMIT.cxml f2xmit.cxml), and it no longer crashes!!

Someone needs to update their software…

Called and reported it. Known issue and they're working on it. But, if it crashes because it can't open a file, that's likely why…
