The Cost Basis Expert walks you through calculating your basis for each trade, including single and multiple purchase lots, first in first out (FIFO) reporting, average cost reporting and more. View larger. | 
Quickly calculate depreciation and deductions for your rental property. View larger. | No More Lost Opportunities
This software shows you how to qualify for over 350 deductions, from mortgage interest, to child-care expenses and more, so you don't miss important deductions that could have a significant impact on your return. As you move through the deduction process, this program looks for deduction opportunities, shows you which deductions you've already taken, which you haven't, and which you're not yet eligible to take. While reviewing your return to identify missing income information, it also helps you find overlooked deductions. The end result is a comprehensive tally showing how much you've saved in deductions as well as the impact on your refund or bottom line. Life Events Planner
Now featuring software that guides you through common life events-- like buying a new home, taking on new dependents, marriage or divorce-- Premier Investments 2006 shows how future life changes will affect next year's taxes. By giving you a glimpse of what's to come, you can optimize your present and future tax situation. Time-Saving Options
Premier Investments 2006 is loaded with time-saving features that help you to quickly and easily file your taxes without making mistakes or cheating yourself out of key deductions. First, this program lets you transfer and edit information from your last year's TurboTax return so you don't have to enter it again. When it comes time to make changes, you can take advantage of the summary pages at the end of each section-- they make it a snap to find and edit data you've previously entered. To save even more time, quickly jump to sections of your return using a clickable tax topic list. Nothing wastes time more than an exhaustive audit, and that's why Premier Investments 2006 flags items the IRS might question so you can take care of potential problems before you file. At the same time, this program compares you deductions to national averages for your income bracket so you can quickly see if your deductions fall outside the norm. This prevents future headaches while also potentially saving you money. Fast, Guaranteed Results
Because it's so thorough and easy to use, Premier Investments 2006 can help deliver the fastest refund possible. For even speedier results, e-file your return and get your money back in as little as 10 days (fees apply). This program also comes with TurboTax's guarantee that you'll get the maximum refund you're entitled to with TurboTax than with any other tax preparation method or they'll refund you every penny of your purchase price.

 Good product. More expensive. January 9, 2007

I have purchased TurboTax for years. For the 2006 tax year, the premier version is $64.95 at Amazon plus $29.90 for e-filing. (No rebates for e-filing this year.) The Taxcut 2006 is 49.95 for the same features and the e-filing is included! TurboTax with e-filing is almost twice as much (94.85 vs 49.95) as compared to TaxCut with e-filing included. I am switching to TaxCut this year.
 Turbo Tax has no customer service January 17, 2007

I've now used Turbo Tax for four years and I'm going to switch. In the past, things went smoothly, so I didn't need to worry about glitches. This past year (filing year 2005), I experienced some glitches and found it impossible to get anyone at TurboTax to answer my questions in any useful way. The software is generally OK, but it becomes useless if you have any problems with it.
Basis calculations broken February 9, 2007

This software is very friendly, and very thorough. Unfortunately, it can't calculate the basis of a mutual fund. Example: fund purchased 6/1/06 for $10,000. Fund sold 9/1/06 for $11,025. Turbotax takes this information and determines a short term capital gain of $11,025. The only way to override this behavior (on a number of transactions) was to manually input the gain myself in the form fields. What a waste.
Good product for most people February 1, 2007

This was the first time in about 5 years that I used Turbo Tax. I was impressed with several aspects of the product:
- Very easy to use interface and interview style questions
- Incorporates Its Deductatble to make donations easy to track
- Allows you to look at the actual tax forms as you answer the questions
- Allows you to import from Quicken
I did find this product a little disappointing though. Turbo Tax is good if you have a relatively straight forward tax situation (w2s, 1099s, and itemized deductions). Once you start getting into some more unique solutions, Turbo Tax does a lot of behind the scenes calculations that may or may not be what you are thinking. As a result, I spent a lot of time reviewing and correcting my 1040.
I also found that the state component of the software is not very strong. Turbo Tax provides limited support for questions on state taxes, and I also found that they do not support some of the forms that I am required to submit. So my state taxes are only partially completed by Turbo Tax and I have to manually fill out the remaining forms.
buggy and poor customer support February 11, 2007

The product basically does what it's supposed to, but it makes assumptions about things (like whether you want to make estimated payments for next year or not) and it's very difficult to change these back. You shouldn't have to fight with your software. Also, it imported charities from the previous year that I didn't donate to this year, and removing these was difficult. Finally, customer support has apparently been moved out of the country. The response I received from email was clearly from someone who didn't have native level English ability and absolutely failed to answer the actual question (gave a stock answer that was irrelevant). The automated online support also has very limited options. If TurboTax is in fact the best tax prep software out there, I may have to go back to doing it by hand next year. In short, don't bother with the program if your taxes are easy, and, from reading the other reviews, don't trust it if your taxes are complex, either.
