I have read several reviews regarding the additional filing fees associated with a state tax return. With this particular version of TurboTax the federal tax return can be e-filed for free and the state tax return can be e-filed for an additional $19.95 fee. When setting up the e-file information you have the choice of having the $19.95 state e-filing fee deducted from your return or paid with a credit card. If you choose to have the fee deducted from your return you are charged an additional $29.95 for using that particular feature. If you choose to pay the state e-filing fee with a credit card you are not charged an additional $29.95.
Intuit should have described the fees and circumstances under which they are charged more clearly. Other than that, I love TurboTax and have been using it for over a decade now.

Up until 2009 I had an accountant for years do my taxes. They did a good job but the price was steep and I always wondered if I could do it myself like I did years ago. Last year I purchased the 2009 edition and was pleasantly surprised with the ease I was able to do the taxes. It is very intuitive to use and really doesn't require much of a manual. It asks question that require only a yes or no answer and from you answers (i.e. Did you sell any stock in 2010?) It will further customize the program to accommodate your answers. Whenever you start the program it goes to the Turbotax website to see if there is any updates or patches for the program and automatically downloads latest revision. You're able to do the program in the interview mode or for more seasoned tax preparers, you can manually input numbers to the specific forms that apply to you and the program, based on your answers, selects all the forms that apply to you. A side bonus was you have the option to file electronically or print out and mail. I decided to "e" file both Federal and State and I received checks credited directly to my bank account in under 10 days! It cost nothing to file electronically for the Federal but there's a $29.95 charge to "e" file the state return. If you choose instead to print out the forms and mail to the state instead, there is no charge for that. You "e" file the state and pay the fee only if you want your money quickly. Otherwise, save the 29.95 and just send in the return "snail mail". I now have the 2010 version that is advertised here and it is substantially the same as 2009 (except, of course, latest tax info. What is really nice is once you've done one year (in my case 2009), once you purchase load the next year and load it on your computer, it "looks" for previous tax year data on your computer and "suck over" all pertinent info from the previous year (i.e. Name, social security number, other personal info plus it'll even grab "carry forward loses" from stock transactions for previous years. As you enter your data you see instantly the effects on your taxes and it instantly shows changes to your refund (or what you owe) as you enter those numbers.
I was paying hundreds of dollars each year and now, for a fraction of that I get to do my taxes in the privacy of my home at my own leisure. You do not have to do it all in one sitting and it saves your work as you go. No apparent downside here. I think this program is well done and easy to use. you also are allowed to do up to 5 Federal returns so you can actually split the cost with someone on the program and even save more. I like my accountant but with my savings last year, I could almost go out and buy a 16 gig Apple iPad with the money I saved.

I've enjoyed using TurboTax for several years now - it simply reduces substantially the research and filling-out time needed to do taxes. I opted for the Deluxe edition, even though we have some investment income it's small and not complicated to figure out. You really don't need the next level up if you just buy and hold stocks or have assets in retirement accounts that you're not yet drawing from.
What I did NOT enjoy this year was the pile of bloatware attached to my Amazon download. You have to install the Amazon Games & Software Downloader in order to download this software, then actually download and install TurboTax.
My first clue was that the download - ~115 MB - took nearly 30 minutes. This is atrocious, at our connection speed it's usually more like 5. After the download, my PC (a 3-year-old HP running Vista on 3 GB RAM and a 2.97 GHz dual-core) was LAGGING so horribly I ran a virus check. After restarting, idle time was showing 57% utilization. I pulled AnswerWorks 5.0 off the registry and force-uninstalled it (Window's Program Manager wouldn't allow me to) - this is a software piece that I remember uninstalling last year, I think, too. After reboot, my PC is running at 7% utilization while idle (antimalware suite takes up most of that).
So, I'll publish a follow-up with how well I used this year's tax software, but in following years I'll be buying a CD.

The software was a huge help, probably saved me around 8 to 10 hours of work on my taxes this year. It was just as easy to use as in previous years. I'm not sure what additional comments I can offer, but I highly recommend TurboTax.
