> 3 dayAfter working as a contractor in three states in the course of one year, the tax collector from each state came calling. With TurboTax doing the various state taxes - and the federal taxes - was a snap. The federal people were easier to deal with than the state collectors, but TurboTax took care of everything. Worth every penny. Turns what could be a nightmare into an interesting task. It also helps determine the lowest taxes due.

> 3 dayI run my own small business and have used TurboTax for some years now. I find it to be quite accurate - a very good tool for individuals and small businesses who prepare their own tax returns. I find that over the years it has become a bit busy with unnecessary screens touting additional services, but I understand the marketing aspect of all this. My one complaint is that I think the product is very overpriced. The profit margins must be incredible. I assume that they price it to come in just under what it would cost to have H&R do a simple return, and that is probably not a fair standard for the consumer even though it makes sense from TurboTaxs point of view.

> 3 dayI am the go to guy for my family when it comes to taxes. I generally prepare around 8 returns a year for family members. They fill a wide range of needs when it comes to taxes, so I get the home and business version to cover the entire range. As for the product itself - I have used this version for at lest 7 years running. That should tell you something right there. I simply trust TTax better than I trust myself. Although I am pretty knowledgable about taxes, they are complex and I need TTax to help me remember things that I would probably forget if I did them by hand. Plus the ability to bring information forward from previous years also helps me remember things about the relatives I do returns for that they themselves have forgotten. It has saved me many times. My only complaint is that starting last year TTax started putting in a max of 5 returns per license. They didnt announce it and it messed me up a lot last year, because I did some dummy returns to check out different scenarios (married filing separately, etc.). Went aganst my number of returns. Now I know to do some of the simpler ones on the onling free version. I do wish that TTax would raise the limit to like 10 or so.

> 3 dayI was not happy with my purchase. The process is confusing and too long. Used TurboTax last year and worked easily; this years product was much different. No help on the help line either. I accidently typed a number in the wrong place and could not remove it by any means. Wont use this brand next year! Also Amazon did not disclose that you had to pay an additional amount for efiling of state taxes. That should have been on the label along with Federal & Efile & State. The additional $19.95 to efile for state should have been in the advertisement. Am disappointed with Amazon.

> 3 dayI have a small business based from my home. I have used Turbo Tax to prepare our taxes for the last 5 years. It gives you step by step instructions, so you do not miss any deduction. I keep track of all my bookkeeping on Quick Books and when it is tax time, Turbo Tax merges everything from Quick Books into the tax documents. Which this saves me a boat load of time. If you are unsure of a deduction, it has a quick reference guide to explain the deduction to you in an easy format. With this feature you know for sure if you are actually entitled to the deduction. You never have to read up on the new tax laws because Turbo Tax already has all the new tax law updates built right in or updates them for you automatically. It also has a automatic error check to make all blanks have been completed. I would highly recommend this product.

> 3 dayI have been using TurboTax for several years and would not attempt to prepare my taxes without it now. I dont know how much money it has saved me, but it has saved my sanity and an untold amount of my valuable time. I will continue to buy and use TurboTax. Amazon, as always, filled my order as if I was their most important customer.

> 3 dayI picked this up to do my taxes this year. It is a great product and it really lets you cover all of your bases to make sure you have done everything right. It includes a free efile for federal taxes and comes with free state software, however you have to pay 19.99 to efile your state taxes. I saved a lot of money too by buying it through amazon. I will be buying this again next year!

> 3 dayTurbo Tax is great and makes tax preparation a snap. My only complaints concerning this version of Turbo Tax are that when you are down to the final check and it prompts you to make corrections, after reviewing the final areas to be corrected and making the corrections, if any need to be made, the program continually brings those same errors to your attention -- i.e., if you do not correct an item because it is okay -- and then these supposed errors prevent your e-file from going through. It took me at least 20-30 minutes to submit my final returns via e-file because of this glitch in the program; fortunately, the system finally recognized I approved of my returns as-is, but it was very frustrating and annoying!
