rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tb10 - I have used TurboTax for years and have found it to work reasonably well, although the questionaire section can be a bit convoluted and difficult to find your place. It has seemed that the price of this product had remained at about $35 each year,...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lindo745 - For the THIRD year in a row, I repeat the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW one can NOT browse a local (home) network to import Quicken files. Quicken and the files to be imported need to be installed on the computer that has Turbo Tax installed on it. This is silly...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author frustratedtax - I've been a TT user for 15 years, but made the mistake of buying the Home Office version for $90. Support sucks, you can't deal with them and have a day job, too. The "Deluxe Deduction Maximizer" wasn't integrated -- as it is in the cheaper...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author colorado_pete - I used TurboTax for about 7 years, swore by it, and recommended it to friends and family. Then I got engaged. My fiancee always had her taxes prepared by the independent CPA her family had used for years and suggested I do the same. So I set up a...

Quicken TurboTax: Misleading

Thu, 7 Apr 2005 17:13:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cosmaki - I didn't have any problem with the actual software, actually it was decent. What I have a huge problem with is the fact that after I had completed my Federal return the program prompted me to go and spend another 29.95 for my state return. That really...

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 19:27:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Adept - It's great to have this software check for errors and do the math for you. It's great to have everything explained to you - EXCEPT!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wilhelmp - The Good

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lhoward62 - I've used various tax software for about 6 years now. Turbo Tax is consistently the best produced software. The initial setup is laborious and time consuming, but the ability to try different scenarios and to not enter most data the next year makes up...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author asawadude - I've used TurboTax every year since the early 1900's when it was made by a company called Chipsoft.

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 15:36:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author marrone - TurboTax 2000 is definitely a must have for people with not so complex tax returns. I say that because I didn't have such things as rental properties, time shares, offshore tax exempt casino operations, etc, but did have a nice complex schedule-D which...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cfaulconer - I like to do my taxes. Well, I should say that I like to do my taxes when I'm expecting a refund and when I'm not then I absolutely dread it.
