 Kind of a waste of money for partnerships, LLCs and most small businesses December 23, 2006
Mark Dalpiaz (Salida, CO USA)

This is sold as a comprehensive tax program for Home AND Business, but it's not. TurboTax authors need to look into what kind of setups comprise most small businesses these days. The only additional business form they include is Schedule C (which is mostly only used by the absolutely smallest businesses out there). Other then that, this is just the same as the basic TurboTax program. If your business is partnership or small corporation, there is nothing here for you. To call this a business program is kind of misleading advertising. I got stung once, but it won't happen again.
Back when Intuit still did MacInTax, it was a pretty good program and I'm not exactly sure why they dropped the support for partnerships & corporate tax returns. It doesn't seem like it would be that big a deal to import these few additional forms.
Unfortunately, if you use a Mac, there are really no other options. If there were, I'd jump ship in a second. What I end up doing is buy the basic TurboTax program (at half the price of Turbotax for Home & Business) for my personal income tax. For business, I still have to get the partnership forms from the IRS and do it the old fashioned way. I can then import the business K-1's into the personal TurboTax (and save a bit of money), but it seems an overly wanky way to do this. If Intuit wants to call this a Business package, they have a long way to go.
Good Solid Software-research your choice thoroughly January 7, 2007

When working with this package, I find it well written and very solid. It's a well built package to do your taxes.
I used 2005 Premier and it appears that they split that product into 2...Premier for 2006 and 2006 Home and Business. I feel that I need to upgrade to Home and Business for the same functionality that was in Premier last year (Schedule C).
I also found that Win 98 was not supported in the list of OS. Worked last year, but, not supported this year.
All in all - good tax package-make sure you need all the features you purchase. Marketing has made it more difficult this year to find the package you truly need.
Stay away from TurboTax! February 21, 2007

If your tax return goes through without a problem, TurboTax might be okay. Yet, if there is a problem, TurboTax's approach to customer service is to give you the run-around ad nauseam until you get the message that TurboTax does not care no matter how serious the situation is. Here is the synopsis of my situation:
I received a letter from IRS recently that it has never received my 2003 tax returns. Of course, I was very surprised and concerned. After some investigation, it turns out that my 2003 returns that I had filed via TurboTax never reached IRS either because of my fault or TurboTax's. So I set out to write a letter to IRS explaining the situation with a hard-copy of my 2003 returns that I printed from my past returns section of TurboTax. The IRS agent told me that I would also need an email/letter from TurboTax stating the date stamp on the initial filing of my return to prove that it was a genuine mistake so that I would hopefully not be charged the approximately $5,400 late penalties that IRS was asking for.
I had five phone conversations (in the past ten days) with TurboTax customer service representatives, each lasting at least two hours (I am documenting the reference numbers below to illustrate my claims). At the end, it became clear to me TurboTax was not willing to give me any documentation on my initial filing, leaving me scratching my head thinking what to do. I am now contacting FTC and BBB, as well as IRS, communicating TurboTax's refusal to help one of its customers.
In short, I had used TurboTax a number of times, but after this experience (seeing how significant the downside is of a possible glitch in the filing system and seeing how TurboTax is not willing to help its customer whatsoever), I have vowed never to use TurboTax or any other Intuit product again.

 Terrific product, great value, time saver January 15, 2007
Larry Witzel (Vancouver, WA USA)

I've used TurboTax (or MacInTax in the early days) for over 15 years to do my taxes. Most of those years included some form of business income, requiring a Schedule C to be filed. TurboTax Home and Business is a terrific product, taking you from gathering documents, to educating you about the tax code and recent changes, to data entry, to electronic filing. It's the whole package.
One year, we used an accountant to prepare our taxes, because of a particularly unusual income situation with complicated tax implications. In the amount of time that it took me to write down by hand all the information requested on the accountant's form, I could have typed everything into TurboTax and had my taxes filed. Plus, TurboTax is less than the $250 average tax preparation bill. And that year I really missed the tax education I usually get by going step-by-step through TurboTax, giving me tax saving strategies for the following year.
Faster. Cheaper. Plus tax strategy education. That's why I'm using TurboTax again this year.
TurboTax just keeps getting better! January 26, 2007

When I started Beta Testing for TurboTax, I never thought my submissions would have an impact. Boy was I wrong! They listened to everything I (and everyone else) said, and acted upon them. TurboTax loads faster, updates more often, and they even got rid of the extra junk that loads up on your desktop. If you've used TurboTax before, you're probably already familiar with the "Import" feature. Use this and you'll save yourself HOURS of loading information back into the program. For novices, as you work within TurboTax you will see the refund calculated in real time so you know how much you owe, or how large your return is, instantly and at every step. TurboTax just keeps getting better year after year!
