11 Years With TurboTax,
By
This review is from: TurboTax Basic 2007 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
This will be the 11th year that I have used TurboTax to prepare my Federal tax return. Eleven years ago the user interface was a little difficult but workable. Last year the product was great and I expect it to continue to improve. Over the years, I have learned that the product is not infallible and some (but very few) mistakes were made, especially in the area of education credits and whether a "Hope" or "Lifetime" learning credit applies. I was able to successfully navigate through this problem but had to force it into the appropriate category. It remains important for the user to be aware of the tax laws so as not to be surprised by these problems.
I have always used the "Basic" version and have found that it meets all my needs including self-employment forms, capital gains, pensions, child care expenses, various tax credits such as the residential energy credit, and many, many more. I have never used the "State" product since state tax returns can be filed in New Mexico over the internet at no cost. You should check with your state to see if it has similar programs. The only real problem with TurboTax is that the program is released early and before any federal forms are finalized. The update process is easy enough, but if you have a dial-up connection it will take a good bit of time. With a "real" high-speed connection such as cable, it's no sweat. This year it took me about a minute. I personally like to begin my return in December, so this is not a problem for me. Another great feature is that you can copy personal information such as names, SSN, filing status, etc. from the previous year so you don't have to retype it this year. It also copies financial institution and W2 information which can be edited for the current year without retyping names, tax ID numbers, etc. I highly recommend TurboTax and wouldn't use any other.

Dishonest,
By
This review is from: TurboTax Basic 2007 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I have used this product for 10 years and have been very pleased. This year, however, the BASIC Turbotax does not include a Sch C as it always has in the past. When I went to their website, it clearly says that it DOES include Sch C. I then talked with a TurboTax representative who told me that it DOES include one, but you have to PAY to UNLOCK it! When I asked how much, they said "the difference between the Basic and the Home and Office Edition" which was like $60 more! That is dishonest. I am trying TaxCut this year for $13.99 and it does include Sch C and imports all the info from your prior year Turbotax. Intuit, get a clue.

don't waste your money,
By Rob "beatlefan61" (N.E. Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TurboTax Basic 2007 [OLD VERSION] [Download] (Software Download)
The description mentions that you can use this software to prepare your return and e-file it. What they fail to mention is that when you try to e-file, they expect an additional $17.95 to do so! But wait, that's not all...E-filing for individuals who earn below a certain income are entitled to e-file free of charge. I did so, using free software online from Turbo Tax. The very same software I purchased for $19.99. Save your money. Turbo Tax Basic is available free online. There is absolutely no difference, except that it allows you to e-file without extorting another $17.95.
