 *** Warning!!! Read for MAC system details January 27, 2008

For all MAC, users such as myself still using OS X 10.3.9 and below, for some reason (not made clear in packaging unless you use a microscope) this product is only compatible for 10.4 and above. There are still thousands and thousandss of us MAC users, who, for product compatibility reasons, have not moved to Tiger and above.

I buy this product every year. Amazon has the best prices. I'm never disappointed.
Makes the Impossible Possible January 20, 2008

I used to do my taxes without software. Then my return became much more complicated 4 years ago when I started a business that required an investment in equipment; also sales, shipping, etc. I had no idea what forms to use or how to depreciate the equipment over the years.
I was a little nervous about trying TurboTax (thinking instead maybe I needed to go to a professional). But I got TurboTax to give it a try. By simply asking questions the individual should be able to answer, TurboTax makes what would be a very complicated return simple enough for the average person to complete. I've gotten TurboTax every year since.
One piece of advice: know what your needs are and be sure you buy the edition that covers those needs. Last year I had to upgrade from Premier to Home & Business because Premier dropped some features that I needed.
Major bug with Traditional IRA and IRS publication 590 noncomplioance February 22, 2008
Self Employed Taxpayer (Princeton NJ)

This bug nearly cost me $1000 in tax savings because the software doesn't conform to IRS publication 590 rules. According to IRS 590, if one spouse is covered by a retirement plan at work and the other is not, then the one that is not can deduct up to $4000 in a traditional IRA provided the MAGI is less than $159,000 for married filing jointly. The software thinks that number is between $83,000 and $103,000. Last year, the limit was $156,000 and I had no problem with a $4000 traditional IRA with last year's software. They need to fix this quickly as many of us have to file early for college financial aid purposes. I have been on hold for over an hour now trying to alert them to this bug. It worked last year and all they had to do was increase the limit from $156,000 to $159,000. There were no rule changes. I spent $150 to check this with a tax professional.
Mac Users Beware February 23, 2008

This product only works on OS 10.4 or higher - and iMacs can't upgrade to 10.5. Luckily found 10.4 on eBay (www.allmac.com.) Screwed up iTunes, wasted several hours, etc. PITA.
Long story short - Turbotax is not worth the hassle. There was no need to force users to upgrade. Supposedly needed to do it for enhanced "features" (though I can't find out what they are). I saw no new features that I saw versus old versions. (I've been using this SW since it was Macintax!)
In fact several things not working. Forgot that I contributed to SEP Fund, screwed up calculations of AMT, just runs glitchy. They should have spent more time on fundamentals than adding glitzy "features" with no benefits.
If you find a Mac friendly tax program that can read the old turbotax files please share! I'm never buying this software again.
