TurboTax 
2006-03-22
I have used this product in the past. It works quite well and is easy enough for most anyone to use.
poor mac product 
2006-03-22
constant problems with updates and mistakes. I have been using tax software since the early 90s and this is BY FAR the most problems I have ever had! Next yr I will use a mac only product. I had to send an ammended return too! Software chose my standard deduction over my itemized and I had to refile to get my full refund. Mac n tax was great. This company doesnt care if they get the mac market or not so I choose NOT!
Almost as good as last year's version 
2006-03-20
I've used this software for several years-I didn't feel it was quite as good as last year. The interview did not seem as extensive as before. I do like the fact that it transfers some information from the previous year (if still in your hard drive.). However, It still is much better than another competetive program.

Dreaded Tax Preparation Made Simple

I have used the Turbo Tax software for many years and it gets easier to use every year. I will continue to prepare my own taxes using this software.
Excellent, simple, fast

I always use Turbotax. It's so straight forward, they listen to users over the year and improve it constantly. Wish it would stop hounding me to buy other addons...that is why I got this version, to avoid all the extras I don't want. So stop trying to sell me!

I love it -- I hate it.

What I love about it. It carries information forward from prior-year returns. It imports Schedule B and Schedule D information. It produces legible documents, something I could never do on my own.
What I hate about it. There are a lot of basically harmless annoyances (e.g. asking for information multiple times; persistently asking whether you `want any fries with that'; telling me that I'm not eligible to e-file because of multiple 8283s (which is fine), but then telling me on final review that there's an error because I haven't entered credit card data to cover an electronic filing charge of $0.00). TurboTax forgets where it's been after you apply updates; your data are still there, but it can give you a moment of panic because it looks like it lost your data. But here's something that can cost you money. ItsDeductible is poorly integrated with TurboTax. Review carefully what gets transferred from ID. One of my cash contributions didn't transfer - no discernible reason. Also, ID recognized some gifts of appreciated stock to be fully deductible, but after transfer to TT they showed up as ordinary income contributions. Trusting TT would have cost me over $3,200. I had to waste time digging through instructions to understand and correct what TT did wrong.
Is there anything better?

I have used Turbo Tax for years and this does seem like the worst year. It takes away choice in many ways. It is hard to elect other methods than the what the program thinks is the best unless you cheat the numbers. Security transactions are difficult. Finding your way back to a specific point to check it is difficult.
Printing - you either don't print, or print pages and pages whether you need them or not. Nor does it offer options to print even and odd pages. In fact there are no page setup options.
I don't like Turbo tax, but I'm afraid to switch - is anything else better, and by staying with this one, it imports info from last year.
If you have Quicken, it imports data, but that doesn't always work real well.
The software takes away choice (Big pushy company??) 
2006-03-28
The software FORCES you to go online and get the latest that they want you to have ... any company that takes away choice is in my opinion not a good company. This would have been my third year using Turbo Tax. I am now a very happy TaxCut (H&R Block) user ... and this new program even has the ability to convert Turbo Tax info. so that I didn't have to re-enter basic info.
