2.0 out of 5 stars Costs more than you think, February 13, 2006

By	C. Voner "cev" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beware of the E-filing costs. Previous years were more
up front costs ($ plus $ rebate). Good deal for e-filing
right. That was for Federal only.

This year I get $ flash on the screen just for Federal.
OK, it went up. But after I e-file I see more charges from
a Bank in Santa Barbara. Almost $ total withdrawn from my refund (more than the software cost) for e-filing just the Federal. I'm glad I didn't e-file the state too. I really have to check now the total as just the $ flashed on the screen.

My 39 cent stamp cost is a bargain now. From now on the paper
use is back unless this changes.

I like the software but Intuit must think they have customers with no minds. Saving money is a concern for customers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still the beat tax prep software, January 15, 2006

By	David Wilson (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my eigth year using Quicken TurboTax and it will be my sixth year using the state tax version. I can't imagine going back to pen and paper to do taxes.

There is a new format this year and I'm not quite sure I like it. It could be that I'm use to the old format. However, the program still takes you step-by-step through the tax process by asking you questions about the various sections of the forms. It also prompts you to make you remember about things that may have slipped you mind, like other deductions. And, it makes suggestions for deductions that you may not have thought about. At the end of the process you can print out the forms for mailing in the traditional format or in a format that's easy for the IRS computers to read. In addition, you can opt to file electronicly. The help section IS very helpful. It actually makes sense of the rules and instructions for filing your taxes and explains the relevant sections of the tax code in easy to understand language. My one suggestion is that you have all your papers with you before you start the process. You can, of course, save your work and come back to finish or edit it, but it is a pain to be half way through and remember that your mortgage statement is two floors away.

I tried Taxcut in the past because of the product activation on TurboTax. I had problems with it right off. It stated on the box that you could import TurboTax files but when I tried it wouldn't let me. The Taxcut web site suggested that this was a common problem and that you had to edit your TurboTax file (with TurboTax) to bring it down to a certain size. Still, it didn't tell you what that size was ok or really give you any idea on what to cut out. (I thought all of the our tax info was important).

I have to agree that the advertising included in the product (for more Intuit products) now borders on the ridiculous and the program (like all programs) needs more space and more resources each year but I still think that is better that the competition.

My advice: TurboTax is still the best tax prep software. Don't do your taxes without it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, No rebates!, January 7, 2006

By	Skylark in Tucson (USA) - See all my reviews

FINALLY Turbo tax has combined all three products-Fed/State and ItsDeductible. Thank you, Intuit, for getting rid of the rebates and selling this at a lower price!

I have used both TaxCut (2004) and Turbo Tax (2003 Premier and 2005 Deluxe)--Turbo Tax is the clear winner for me. Turbo Tax has better help in guiding you thru your return. I used TaxCut last year and it calculated different taxes every time (hundreds of dollars) depending on how I answered a series of questions, despite answering them all truthfully. TaxCut is essentially an electronic form with little help or advice.

The down side--pray you don't need phone help, unless you want to try conveying your problem to someone in India.

only hiccup this year was late forms and not the best accuracy in notifying me when they were ready. But, if you're not a spaz about doing your taxes immediately, no harm done.
