turboTax deluxe

Strengths:

has steadily improved; excellent prompts for necessary information; easy to return to any portion of the filing process to edit or update entries

Weaknesses:

"instant chat" with a computer much inferior to live chat with person--very limited use

Posted May 3, 2008 - Biggest dissapointment: Intuit has diminished the "deluxe" version to force users with rental property to puchase a more expensive version of their software. Since they have a captive audience (one must purchase new copies of the app yearly) and are genning excellent returns for this "case cow", they are destroying all user loyalty. They fail to acknowledge what one can learn from their helpful support staff (Indian): that one can still use schedule E (rental income), accessing one's previous tax return, using this "supposedly diminished" deluxe version of TT.

Intuit TurboTax support not responsive to bugs

Strengths:

Can't think of any at this point.

Weaknesses:

Intuit's tech support and their methods to allow (or not in this case) users to report bugs and get them fixed has again made it difficult to get the taxes done.

Posted Apr 12, 2008 - I found and reported using their support page "email" method a problem related to "view forms" printing that produces an error dialog with error code 113. I got a non-responsive email reply and when I responded to that e.mail I got a reply that says "You have reached an unmonitored e-mail box. If you need assistance, please visit our support website at support.turbotax.com...." I went to the support site and tried to get to the place where I could feed all of this back to them including words that they were non-responsive. I found that the "email" option is gone. So, now they have removed ALL methods for users to report BUGS!!! AND they aren't addressing the bugs!!! Time to switch tax prep software vendors.

TurboTax Deluxe- '07

Strengths:

Save hours of work

Weaknesses:

Too many solicitations for upgrades.

Posted Apr 9, 2008 - Have used TurboTax in the past- '07 TurboTax was as effortless in its use, and extremely productive! I am not surprised- this makes tax preparation a breeze (asuming you have all documentation and receipts available.) Fantastic product.

Great way to do your own taxes

Strengths:

Very clear and easy to follow. Made doing my own taxes super easy.

Weaknesses:

None.

Posted Mar 26, 2008 - I've been scared of doing my own taxes for years but I finally decided I'd try it this year. TurboTax make it easy! When I was done I was so relieved and I couldn't believe that was all there was to it.

TurboTax Deluxe

Strengths:

Easy to use; imports previous year information; imports your tax information from external sources (like brokerage, bank, payroll); great assistance with donations to charities.

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Mar 23, 2008 - I did my taxes by hand for many years. But once I started investing and having more complicated income it became very difficult. I settled on TurboTax 10 years ago and have been using it ever since. This year was the first time I was able to import information directly from my brokerage. It was fantastic! And the charitable deductions now use eBay to assign values to clothing and other items. The state module makes quick work of a very confusing Maryland form. That alone is worth the price. TurboTax is the only program I've ever used so I can't compare it to other products.

Quick, easy... fun?

Strengths:

Simple to set up, excellent prompts for information, easy access to additional information, great guidance for less-common financial problems, great price (with rebate)

Weaknesses:

Difficult to skip directly to a specific section or field

Posted Feb 26, 2008 - Overall, this is a great product. I don't have very complicated taxes, but there are some minor difficulties. TurboTax dealt with all of them without a hitch, and even helped me find an extra deduction of which was unaware. I got state with the deluxe version, and filling in those fields were just as easy-- especially since it auto-filled all the personal data. This was a great way to save time and ensure that everything was done correctly. It also allows you to quickly see how alternative deduction methods will affect you.

Weaknesses:

NONE

Posted Feb 20, 2008 - Turbo tax is a great software to do your taxes with. It is user friendly and has great support for help.

Great program again

Strengths:

Quick program, good interview process, and helpful comparison to 2006 taxes.

Weaknesses:

High price and no mfg rebate.

Posted Feb 16, 2008 - TurboTax is the only program I trust with which to prepare my taxes. I've used it for years and been very satisfied. I like how it makes it simple to compare this year's to last year's final numbers. Overall it's a good program for novices and more experienced people alike. I find it most helpful to go through the interview process and then double check the forms myself.

Turbo Tax Deluxe only works on OS 4 or higher!

Strengths:

No strengths.

Weaknesses:

Does not work on OS 3.9 or lower. Does not support filing for a Trust (1041)

Posted Feb 16, 2008 - When H&R Block in 2005 dropped TaxCut for the Mac, I turned to the only Mac tax software on the market: Turbo Tax, which I used in 2005 and 2006. I found it reasonably good. So I pre-ordered the 2007 version and received the CD in the mail in mid-December. Yesterday (2/15/07) I installed it and tried to open it. No luck! I went online to their website and learned that TT for 2007 will only work with OS4 or later (I am running OS 10.3.9 on an e-Mac). Their explanation is that they wanted to incorporate features that only OS 4 allows. What a bunch of crap! There are undoubtedly millions of Mac owners like me who are still running OS 10.3.9 or earlier. It is absurd that they would stop supporting these earlier versions so quickly. So I had to e-mail Intuit and arrange for a refund. Fortunately, H&R Block is back in the business of publishing TaxCut for the Mac and it does support 10.3.9 (though not earlier!). It is pretty good software, though it unexpectedly quite several times when I tried to register, so I gave up on that, and crashed after I thought I had successfully imported personal information from TurboTax 2006, which led to my having to manually re-enter all my personal data into the 2007 TaxCut. I continue to be nervous about using it, but TurboTax gives me no choice. I am also disappointed with MacWorld for not alerting its readers to the fact that TurboTax requires OS 10.4 or later.

Posted Feb 4, 2008 - I've used Turbo Tax each year and somehow they improve it! Very easy product to use. No worry about missed deductions or mistaken calculations. Using the E file is especially beneficial.

TurboTax Deluxe 2007 (Full Product)

Strengths:

It has everything necessary for correct tax preparation.

Weaknesses:

Still cannot amove directly between two open schedules.

Posted Jan 14, 2008 - This is the seventh year I have used TurboTax. It is still doing the job correctly and with a minimum of problems. My return is somewhat complicated and the program can handle these intricacies with complete accuracy - and SPEED.

TurboTax Deluxe 2007

Strengths:

Easy to use; imports tax information from previous years' TurboTax; includes one free state download

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Jan 11, 2008 - I have been using TurboTax Deluxe (federal+state) for the last 3 years now and believe it is one of the best tax software packages available. The 2007 edition is very easy to use and allows me to import my tax information from last year. A great feature is a built-in module that calculates maximum deductions.

TurboTax Deluxe 2007

Strengths:

Easy to use product; personal information, deductions, income etc, it is a step by step process pretty simple to follow.

Weaknesses:

For those who need a little more business related topics, this version does not include the necessary forms or information, the business premier version would be required which is a lit more expensive

Posted Jan 6, 2008 - In general for individual whose sole income is from an employer (W-2s, investments) this is a great software; price is reasonable and most people should be able to use without major training or explanation.

TurboTax 2007

Strengths:

Makes an unpleasant task much easier

Weaknesses:

Price

Posted Jan 5, 2008 - I have used TurboTax for many years and it certainly simplifies a very painful task. At one point I used an accountant but it took almost as much work to gather the data for him as it does to enter into TurboTax. Documentation and on-line help are generally good. My major complaint is the price keeps going up year after year for software you only use once!
