I encountered the bug in the 1040 EZ when doing my son's taxes.  Since he
shows as a dependent on my return, he no longer gets to declare himself as
a dependent.  That's one of those "loop holes" that got closed in the reform.
Anyway the tax computation showed zero tax.  I had to use the 1040A form 
instead.  At this point I'm not sure its worth the cost of a phone call to
get that fixed unless I call to check on my California version.  Last year
it arrived about the first week in April so I haven't started worrying yet.
Anyway I don't know all the combinations that cause the problem but would
guess that the zero dependent caused the problem.
