 Updating lost my return! February 1, 2007

I spent hours working on my return. I had it complete except for a form that was not available. When Turbo Tax emailed to come back to my return and they would finish it with the unavailable form, my whole return was lost. I did nothing, except go back to the program. As I opened the program it automatically began to update, no way to stop this process. It updated 10 forms. I had updated the program 3 days before when I began my return. Now I have to start all over again and spend hours working on my return again. Bad flaw in the program. I cannot get to Turbo Tax to tell them about this flaw, I keep running into walls. I also saved everything I did as I went along.

Spend $40 on state and federal, then its an ADDITIONAL $16 to efile just federal! So $56 for pretty much a basic federal and state tax program. TaxAct is $20 for the same thing, but it doesn't offer a Mac version. Online preparation is even cheaper, but checkout privacy policies. TaxCut is downright bad. I've had TaxCut tell me completely wrong things that would have cost me thousands. I ran out and bought TurboTax to double check. Turbotax is good, easy to use, and illustrated the mistake the TaxCut made. But Turbotax is overpriced, TaxAct seems almost as good.
Easier than I expected it to be. January 27, 2007

I never used tax software before last year. I tried the online Turbo Tax and it was good but when I got the Desktop version for this year, well I was pleasantly surprised at some of the stuff it did.
1. I have a Merrill Lynch account and I can never understand what goes in the taxes and what doesn't. Well, Turbo Tax went online and collected my account information and put everything in for me... WOW
2. It has a built in program to help you figure out deductions on contributions of material things, that was a big help.
3. They have an optional small fee if you want to have an accountant check everything after Turbo Tax is done, if just to make you feel better.
All in all, it was a lot easier to fill out than I expected. I had NO idea what was tax deductible and what wasn't or what section the deductions went into. Turbo Tax does all that for you and has a really good help section if you're ever not sure. A friend of mine has an accounting degree and HE uses Turbo Tax!
 Good choice for tax prep January 31, 2007

Turbo tax Deluxe with State is a good deal from Amazon right now although it should go down in price as the tax season goes on. It did not contain the updates for energy efficient cars, Long distance telephone tax break as well as the home energy improvement update. Those will have to wait until February.
Defeatured Product Compared to Previous Years February 25, 2007

I've been a loyal user of TurboTax for the last 8 years. This year's version is the worst because Intuit is no longer in the business of making a good product that is simple & complete for an average user.
Intuit is indirectly forcing its customers to upgrade to the premier version (for another $30) to get features such as ISO/ESPP which were available as standard before.
I think this is the last time I'll be using TT.
