5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Use. Professional. Complete., January 26, 2008

TURBOTAX is everything it is advertised to be.

I started using TurboTax in 2002 and have used it every year since. As my tax situation has grown more complicated with investments and a business, it has more than met my needs. It is easy-to-use, complete, and hassle-free.

I take comfort in knowing that it doesn't overlook deductions, credits, or expenses. Once I have gone through the interview process (which is ridiculously simple), I know I have touched all the bases.

Its Deductible is so good I bought it outright a couple of years ago. For charitable donations of clothes, mileage, and money it is excellent. To have a software package that properly values a short sleeve silk women's blouse in good condition is worth it's weight in gold.

TurboTax has saved me money on taxes and given me peace of mind.

2.0 out of 5 stars Watch out Mac Users!, January 24, 2008

This review is from: TurboTax Home & Business Federal + State 2007 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

It has now been TOO many times that I have been convinced to buy a product from Intuit, and then only after buying, find out that the product does not do what is claimed by the manufacturer. Several times I have found this true with QuickBooks Pro, and now most recently, TurboTAX. Most of these problems seem to be related to the MAC platform, and I don't think they have anything to do with Apple or the Mac, rather Intuit's lack of care and support for the MAC community of users. Watch out!

This product, "for Windows and Mac", does NOT "create W-2 and 1099-MISC forms for your employees and contractors" on a Mac. Read fine print no. 4. "Windows only".

This product, "works with Quickbooks" does not import "data from ....Quickbooks....to save you time". Again, the fine print (Turbo Tax website) is that it only imports from Quickbooks for Windows (2006 or higher).

I could go on about the myriad ways in which Intuit has left the Mac community out in the cold, but I won't, because most of my additional complaints are about the Quickbooks product.

If you have a Windows computer, don't pay too much attention to this review. If you're on a MAC, abandon Intuit as soon as you find a better alternative. My impression - Intuit STINKS on a Mac!

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.
