    Content: This Article analyzes the “TurboTax defense” under section 6664(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Article addresses the issue of whether reliance on computer tax software may be permitted as reasonable cause in good faith exempting taxpayers from the accuracy-related penalty of section 6662(a). It suggests (1) the courts have missed an opportunity to clarify when a TurboTax defense is justifiable, (2) the software companies, in conjunction with the IRS, should work together to promote a more equitable, efficient, and effective use of computer tax software, (3) the Treasury should promulgate detailed guidelines or regulations establishing when a TurboTax defense can be used by an individual taxpayer, (4) the IRS should consider offering taxpayers the option of assessing their tax due or refund owing, and (5) the current informal partnership between the software companies and the IRS should be critically assessed to address advances in software technology and increasing taxpayer reliance on commercial tax preparation software

    Content: During times of emergency, private organizations as well as local, state, and federal authorities must coordinate in real time to create an effective response. When coordination is absent, failure results, as was seen after Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti Earthquake. Using primary data that the authors collected immediately after these disasters, two case studies of systemic failure are presented to illustrate theory that might be used to improve coordination between parties in humanitarian relief operations. We identify recent emergency response trends and argue that failures are unsurprising, in part because response organizations normally operate independently and their operations evolve at naturally different rates. As a result, the organizational interfaces that enable rapid integration during a disaster naturally degrade and may be missing. We draw on information processing theory and the organization design literature to propose that disaster response systems be designed (1) to improve the information flow across the organizational boundaries of existing resources, (2) to better adapt to new technology such as social media, and (3) to be flexible enough to make use of external resources from unaffected areas on an opportunistic basis. We discuss possible adaptive solutions, which include boundary spanning investments. We argue that effective emergency response does not result from sporadic effort but instead requires sustained and continuous effort supported by the consistent collection of both “big” and “small” data

    Content: Creating Katrina, Rebuilding Resilience: Lessons from New Orleans on Vulnerability and Resiliency presents a unique, integrative understanding of Hurricane Katrina in the New Orleans area, and the progression to disaster vulnerability as well as resilience pathways. The book integrates the understanding of vulnerability and resiliency by examining the relationships among these two concepts and theories. The disaster knowledge of diverse disciplines and professions is brought together in this book, with authors from social work, public health, community organizing, sociology, political science, public administration, psychology, anthropology, geography and the study of religion. The editors offer both expert and an insider perspectives on Katrina because they have lived in New Orleans and experienced Katrina and the recovery. An improved understanding of the recovery and reconstruction phases of disaster is also presented, and these disaster stages have been the least examined in the disaster and emergency management literature. Integrates multiple disciplines to study the long-term recovery of the worst non-terrorist disaster in U.S. historyProvides a local perspective, with at least one co-contributor for each chapter living in New OrleansExamines vulnerability and resilience theory and application
