Quicken TurboTax guides users through their returns step by step and is updated with the latest tax laws. EasyStep Interview asks easy-to-understand questions and places answers directly onto IRS-approved forms. It double-checks for errors and overlooked deductions and points out entries that might flag an audit. It also prints IRS-approved forms on plain paper or files returns electronically to get refunds faster. This version is revised and updated with the latest tax law changes to guide users through their taxes and help take advantage of more deductions. You can import information from last year's tax return so you don't need to reenter data. The Tax Advisor gives custom money-saving tax advice while completing the return. Receive a tax report in the form of a customized, printable action plan you can refer to all year to save money on next year's taxes. The Refund Monitor constantly displays refund amounts or taxes due, and updates itself automatically while entering new information. To see a snapshot of taxable income and deductions in addition to the user's bottom line, double-click on the Refund Monitor and view the Tax Summary. The new TurboTax features a streamlined interface that puts everything in plain sight and makes doing taxes easier than ever. |

Overpriced junk made even worse this year! |
|
This software, which is already overpriced junk... historically, now leads the pack for the 2003 award for Most Obnoxious Software with the addition of "mother-may-I" copy protection (can't use it without Intuit's express permission on a single machine) and installation of admitted spyware ("C-Dilla" aka, "SafeCast") that stays even when TurboTax is uninstalled! Although the Mac version doesn't have these issues, Intuit charges double for that luxury... |

This software, which is already overpriced junk (I feel even sorrier for Mac-users who get ripped for double the price @ [...]) historically, now leads the pack for the 2003 award for Most Obnoxious Software with the addition of "mother-may-I" copy protection (can't use it without Intuit's express permission on a single machine) and installation of admitted spyware ("C-Dilla" aka, "SafeCast") that stays even when TurboTax is uninstalled! Although the Mac version doesn't have these issues, Intuit charges double for that luxury! |

Rats! |
I've used Turbo Tax for 7 years, but 2001 was probably the last.
I'd carefully kept Internet Explorer off my computer - no easy feat! Then, I install TurboTax 2001 and it installs IE! No asking if I wanted it, no "cancel" button, just a program I didn't want. (Which incidentally [fouled] up my internet connection.)
But that's not all. While running, Turbo Tax splashes advertisements for all kinds of garbage on the screen. I don't know about you, but I find doing taxes unpleasant enough without having to plow through supurflous adverts.
Maybe they should charge a little more up front and quit the bogus hucksterism. |

the Turbo Tax Download |

This is the first time I have used TurboTax. I had trouble with Mutual Funds and went to a professional tax preparer for the last three years. I was anticipating difficulty with it and had some anxious moments, but it turned out beautifully. I got more money back in refunds than I ever had. I felt I had to sign up for Audit Protection because TurboTax sent so much back. The one problem I had was that I didn't know where to enter charitable donations. |

TurboTax - more is less |
|
For the third consecutive year, I purchased TurboTax for my family tax software. As it brings forward much of the data from the previous year, it makes data entry quicker, certainly a good move towards guaranteeing repeat business, and th single reason I purchased TurboTax rather than a competitive product. That said, my beef with the latest, Year 2001 version, has to do with its inclusion of many screens of video files discussing the latest tax laws and implications for all. Two points here - from the data taken from my income status, it is clear that parts of the tax laws do not apply to me. Does TurboTax then skip these sections? Not on your life; I should just be impressed that software created to bring organization from chaos can do so, and click through all the excess. Oh by the way, save your file often. My computer locked up twice on me (PIII 550 machine operating on Win98) attributed by microsoft explorer as due to the video, though none were being asked to run at the time. I buy tax software to simplify a distasteful process. Lately, TurboTax is bringing unneeded complexity back to the process. |
