TurboTax Premier Federal + State + eFile 2008 [OLD VERSION]

Fast and accurate instructions

Turbo Tax 2008 was as expected and as always TT is what I need to complete my Federal and State Tax returns

I have used Turbo Tax for the last few years. My tax preparation is fairly complicated, but Turbo Tax handles it quite well.

For those who complains about paying for their childrens return, they can still use the Federal Free version for their kids. Most kids will only need a 1040EZ, so I dont think this is much of a problem. The larger problem is for married filing separately and for those who do their parents return as they are seniors. The ten dollars per additional return does hurt. I do understand how people are upset. However, if we went to the tax preparer individually, we would have to pay each tax preparation individually. I dont have problems with paying per user. What I have a problem with is the price increase on top of the pay per user costs. I felt Intuit should have lowered the cost in order to charge per addtional return or raise the price and left it with first 5 free. However, with the double charge of increase price and additonal per return charge, I feel they are pricing themselves out of the market. Of course, for those who trust turbotax, they will begrudgingly pay the extras, for others, its important to go to the competitor. Update 12/31/08: Since Turbo tax changed their fee structure, I decided to stay with Turbotax and I even upgraded to the Premier version. Thanks Intuit.

I have been using Turbo Tax since it first came out. Actually been using computer based tax preparation since one became available for the Comodore 64! TurboTax is a serviceable program, albeit over priced, and its fairly easy to understand and use for simple taxes. It has changed its look and functions AGAIN! Every year, maybe as an excuse to charge what they do, they change the way things look and the method you have to use to get it to work. Just when you think you know how to make the best use of the program they change it again! Like NEW Coke! I have no problem with making the program more efficient and more reliable and error free - just leave the controls alone so they look the same year to year - new is not necessarily better - ask Microsoft!

I have used Tax Cut for years. Too much manual data entry. Turbo Tax is worthy of the name. I have an active investment account and a mutual fund that rebalances frequently. I imported all the 1099 information without error, fast. With Tax Cut I always had to complete the foreign tax credit form myself. Turbo Tax did it for me. How painless. The interview screens are comfortable to use and have plenty of additional information if you need it. With five e-files I can do taxes for the whole family. Pricey but money well spent for me. I will use it from now on.

Found some glitches when trying to go back and fix some numbers but it is still the best program I have used.

Did the job.

This is the fourth year using Turbo Tax. Excellent product. I no longer need an expensive, and not always accurate, CPA! I dont understand how Geithner messed up using it! Turbo Tax should ask for a public apology! TH

prompt delivery, good price
