3 out of 5 stars Turbotax "Sort Of" Business   December 28, 2007
David P. Clark (Little Rock, AR)
59 out of 87 found this review helpful

This version of TurboTax "Business" is really, really limited in the types of businesses it covers. Sure, if you have a small business that you don't have incorporated you're OK. But if you have an LLC or C Corp for your business, you're out of luck. I bought the product and immediately returned it upon receipt because of the limitations of business entities it services. I guess TurboTax wants you to go to a CPA if you have a simple Corporate return so they can sell more of their $1,000 professional version...Go with TaxCut which I ordered last year. TaxCut Business covers all types of corporate entities and is as simple to use as Turbotax.


2 out of 5 stars Watch out Mac Users!   January 24, 2008
A. Thorp (Great Barrington, MA USA)
20 out of 23 found this review helpful

It has now been TOO many times that I have been convinced to buy a product from Intuit, and then only after buying, find out that the product does not do what is claimed by the manufacturer. Several times I have found this true with QuickBooks Pro, and now most recently, TurboTAX. Most of these problems seem to be related to the MAC platform, and I don't think they have anything to do with Apple or the Mac, rather Intuit's lack of care and support for the MAC community of users. Watch out!

This product, "for Windows and Mac", does NOT "create W-2 and 1099-MISC forms for your employees and contractors" on a Mac. Read fine print no. 4. "Windows only".

This product, "works with Quickbooks" does not import "data from ....Quickbooks....to save you time". Again, the fine print (Turbo Tax website) is that it only imports from Quickbooks for Windows (2006 or higher).

I could go on about the myriad ways in which Intuit has left the Mac community out in the cold, but I won't, because most of my additional complaints are about the Quickbooks product.

If you have a Windows computer, don't pay too much attention to this review. If you're on a MAC, abandon Intuit as soon as you find a better alternative. My impression - Intuit STINKS on a Mac!



5 out of 5 stars Easy to Use. Professional. Complete.   January 26, 2008
Jeffrey E Ellis (Naperville, IL USA)
20 out of 21 found this review helpful

TURBOTAX is everything it is advertised to be.

I started using TurboTax in 2002 and have used it every year since. As my tax situation has grown more complicated with investments and a business, it has more than met my needs. It is easy-to-use, complete, and hassle-free.

I take comfort in knowing that it doesn't overlook deductions, credits, or expenses. Once I have gone through the interview process (which is ridiculously simple), I know I have touched all the bases.

Its Deductible is so good I bought it outright a couple of years ago. For charitable donations of clothes, mileage, and money it is excellent. To have a software package that properly values a short sleeve silk women's blouse in good condition is worth it's weight in gold.

TurboTax has saved me money on taxes and given me peace of mind.




3 out of 5 stars Filing in more than one state? It'll cost extra.   January 14, 2008
D. Schwarz (New York, NY USA)

I work in one state and live in another, so I file two state returns each year. If you're in a similar situation, you should know that only your first state is free. Additional states cost $34.95 each.


1 out of 5 stars Intentional confusion? Don't reward mischievous Intuit   February 4, 2008
JAM in SF (San Francisco CA)
17 out of 19 found this review helpful

I've been trying to determine what it will cost to purchase TurboTax Home & Business (federal and state) with e-filing. Whether here at Amazon or on Intuit's website, pricing is impossible to decipher.

For example: I received a TurboTax disc in the mail saying "Free before you buy" -- customers are invited to "try it out" and then, after finishing with their returns, to call a toll-free number to pay for the software. However, nowhere in the literature does it tell us what the price will be.

On the Intuit website, there's a price for Federal + e-filing ("state returns extra": clicking a link takes you to an ad for the state forms, but price is not listed), Federal and state ("e-filing extra": same deal, price not listed...), and nowhere is there a single, bottom-line price for Federal, State and e-filing. And I just received an offer from Borders offering "30% off on TurboTax" -- it's difficult to determine whether it's a good deal or not since the base price (on which the 30% discount is based) is different from the base price on the TurboTax website and again, there's no single offer on the website (at least not that I could locate) with a total for federal, state and e-filing.

Why the confusion? I'm going to hazard a guess. Intuit knows that filling out tax forms is a difficult and stressful project for most of us, and so, rather than list the price for their products in a straightforward way, they've intentionally obfuscated pricing and built in "gotcha" mechanisms that will force most customers, after purchasing the product initially, to pay more than they counted on before they finish the job.

Should consumers reward this kind of behavior? In my opinion, under no circumstances should they do so, regardless of the popularity of the product. If Intuit succeeds with this kind of a business model, expect other companies to follow suit in the future.

I'm not sure how I'll do my taxes this year, but this much is sure: I won't be using TurboTax.
