    5 out of 5 stars Great tax program   May 27, 2007
    John Crocker (Tyler, TX USA)
    This is the best tax software there is - Period! It is very easy to use, and walks you through every step of the process. I had tried another tax software product, and it was very confusing and counter-intuitive. I had my own business for part of the year, and two W-2s. My wife is disabled and had a few 1099s. What could have been a very confusing return was very easy with TurboTax. We also had to file an amended return, and that was very easy as well. We will definitley be purchasing TurboTax again next year!


    1 out of 5 stars Decent software - but let us down when e-filing at tax time!   April 18, 2007
    Hieronymus (Orlando, FL USA)
    I liked the software itself. Being the first year I used it, I thought I'd start being a regular TT customer.

    Then it was April 17 2007 and I tried to e-file. The servers would not respond ALL DAY. There were no admins to be reached on the support sites or the forums (except for one who said "I don't know what is the problem and I have nothing to tell you").

    One major failing with this software is that it cannot AUTOMATICALLY try to connect. If it fails, it says "try again in 10 minutes". Which I've had to do all night.

    Now - I will miss my tax deadline and have spent 6 hours at my computer trying to get connected. Mail is not an option now as my car is gone.

    This is a major failure of the company and an utter lack of support, since their officials apparently couldn't be bothered to come in to work on tax day to offer us any solutions.

    I will not buy again.




    1 out of 5 stars Upgrade problems for Macintosh users.   April 3, 2007
    Sophist
    This is a product that is dependent on constant upgrades because the most current version of the 2006 tax forms are often not available when it first comes out. That is the nature of the product.

    However, for the third year in a row, many Macintosh users have run into problems with their automated online form upgrade process. If the automated upgrade process does not work, you can do the upgrade manually, but that is a somewhat complex process. Alternatively, you can order a snail mail version of the upgraded program, if you can ever get through to the phone number you have to call. They always seem to be encountering a large volume of calls no matter what time you call.

    Its a great product once you get it upgraded to contain the most recent version of the forms. I wonder if the automated upgrade process works for Windows users? At any rate, until they fix the automated upgrade process, an important part of the software, I have to rate it as low as possible.



    1 out of 5 stars Buyer beware   March 5, 2007

    Having used Turbo Tax since 1990 I feel that I am qualified to comment on it.
    I have also used Quicken, Quicken Deluxe, Quicken Home & Business, QuickBooks Pro 2003 & QuickBooks Premier Contractors Edition. The Turbo Tax product seems to get more user UN-FRIENDLY each year. The navigation features do not allow as much mobility thru the program as they did in the late nineties and early 2000's. Like I said I WAS using QuickBooks Pro 2003 until tax time last year. I purchased Turbo Tax Home & Business like I had for the past 4 years, and really got a shock when I found out that it would not import my data from QuickBooks Pro 2003. Three year old software that was not compatible with Turbo Tax in 2006(actually 2005 tax year). I ended up purchasing QuickBooks Premier Contractors Edition 2006
    ($280+) in order to upgrade just to get my taxes done. Intuit in my opinion is a perfect example of major corporate greed. I am done with them and will purchase TaxCut this year.
