What kind of taxpayer are you?

Amazon.com’s tax software page features some of our favorite characters from The Office. It’s actually pretty well written — when you click each character’s profile, don’t forget to scroll all the way down to the “How You’ll Want to Spend Your Refund” section — it’s hilarious!

I don’t see Angela’s entry when I click through to the link. Am I missing something?
Cute. Not really *funny*, but appreciated.
It would have been kinda neat to see one about Karen that just emphasized the fact that the audience didn’t really know anything about her besides the kind of chips she preferred and Call of Duty skills.
This was such a fun read. I’m really glad that someone who knows what they are talking about was writing it.
Fact: this promotion is hilarious.
Thanks for alerting us to the super-fun read! Whoever wrote the profiles and the refund sections is certainly a fan (was it really YOU, tanster?) Or, was it Nick1 who wrote the great Creed tax profile? Kudos to Nick1!
Can I just say how much I miss my Office? I sure hope the Globes boycott has a positive effect on the negotiations. Until then, thanks tanster for the heads-up on this kind of thing!
I want to see Michael’s. Could he claim Jan as a dependent this year? Or Creed…would he list the office address as his home address? Where do they send the refund check for him?
It is so sad because the lack of new shows makes me obsessively crave more internet tidbits!
That was so brilliant! Whoever wrote that could write for the show! (Provided they’re not already in the union, of course.)
That’s so funny! You can tell whoever did it is really a fan of the show. Awesome!
Finally! Someone obviously obsessed with the Office! Those are SO funny and SO true!
LOL, I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on that. :)
Yes, I do work for the company that makes TurboTax. No, I had nothing to do with this. I wish I could take credit, it was so funny!
Tanster, fess up! You had to have some role in that given your employer! ;)
It’s a great creative promotion, btw.
I don’t think Creed has paid taxes in…ever. So that’s probably why they left him off.
Wow this is fantastic. One more reason to love Amazon. Ryan’s “what you’ll spend your refund on” is great - “Really cool rich guy clothes” and “Why Business People Speak Like Idiots.” Classic! Thanks for posting!
Woah, this was SO cool! Amazon must have some die-hard flans…
WOW. God Bless whatever intern at Amazon loves the office.
What kind of taxpayer is CREED? He deserves a profile!
this was Uh-MAY-zing!!!! WOW. Someone at Amazon is not just a fan, they are totally obsessed. They bought up stuff I totally forgot and the ways to spend your refund - wow, just totally spot on!! Way to go Amazon. This marketing ploy might even work for me!
lol! this is hilarious!! haha i love this! :)
That was great, I wonder about me?
Wow, someone at Amazon is on the ball! Very funny :)
