EDIT: ( Correct result should be close to .131652)

The correct result is close to 0.131652. When you say tan(x), x is an angle in radians, unless you specifically say otherwise, like saying tan(x°).

I admit I didn't read your original post carefully enough. I thought you were looking to compare the numerical accuracy of various calculators; I didn't realize you were unaware of the degrees vs. radians thing. :-D
