> 3 dayIve used TurboTax Premier the past couple years and have been very happy with the products ease of use. This year, all the negative reviews nearly swayed me, but Intuits recent removal of some of the fees and a apparent price-drop (as of early Jan) prompted me to stay with them for now. But Im much more wary with this software and their pricing policies.

> 3 dayYou may not need this expensive version of TurboTax if youre buying it primarily because you also have investment income (Schedule D). I realize TT has recommended this but theyve recanted and told me that the 2008 Deluxe version will be every bit as capable as the 2007 Deluxe version was in guiding us through the Schedule D, C, SE and other self employment forms. Heres the dialogue: TurboTax support has been extremely responsive in calling me back regarding my complaint to them about how badly theyre confusing people on which TT product to buy. Id like you to read my question to them and then their answer. The bottom line is that TTDeluxe 2008 is every bit as comprehensive (and more) as the TTDeluxe 2007 product. There are no takeaways and no real reason for a Schedule D user to have to buy the Premiere version and no significant reason why a self-employed person MUST buy the Home/Business version. He knew their company screwed up and caused a public relations nightmare. Apparently the recommended upgrade products have expanded guidance and help for the uninitiated TT user. If this 2nd review of mine is not accepted by Amazon, I will try to post it to the Premiere version and the Home/Business version and also as a comment to my 1st review here. My question: Considerable confusion exists as to whether a person with investment income/transactions or self employed income absolutely needs to buy the considerably more expensive Premiere or Home/Business version. Your website indicates that the Deluxe version includes forms Sched. D, Sched. C, SE etc. and yet you say we should buy the more expensive program. This doesnt make sense. Ill be happy if Deluxe 2008 is as comprehensive as Deluxe 2007 was but nowhere do you compare the 2008 and 2007 versions. You are getting very bad reviews this year on Amazon because of all this confusion. People believe you are taking away function from Deluxe and raising the price to boot. Their response: These are the actions we took to assist you in resolving your issue: I was able to express to Sam that the Deluxe program will have the same functionality as in previous years, as well as additional features as well. Sam express his confusion on the product features and that of the comparison between each of the verison of TTax. I informed Sam that he has given me a great piece of reference when relaying the changes, functions, and ease of usage within the program. I will be able to inform my supervisors on this as well as urge the response for our return customers, as well as new. Thank You Sam.

> 3 dayThe product has deteriorated and got pricier over the years. I always used it but because of the poor program in 2013 --all of 2012s files on various storage devices were useless/corrupted so went to accountant. No more Turbo for me

> 3 dayTurboTax continues to be easy to use, reduces the time needed to prepare a return via transferring of information from previous returns, and when purchased at a discount without taxes and shipping cost is a value that is hard to equal.

> 3 dayWell, just as most of the other folks have pointed out, TurboTax has become very expensive. In addition, it takes a long time to load once the desktop icon is double-clicked and checking for updates seems to take longer than I have patience for. I have canceled the check for updates on at least 2 occasions because I just didnt have the time to wait. If this years pain is still clear in my mind next year, I will have my taxes done by a professional and not use tax software again.

> 3 dayI buy it every year and appreciate how it copies common data from prior years and imports interest, dividends, gains and losses etc... and even one year it knew to apply a loss carried over from the prior year. Im hooked...

> 3 dayEvery year I purchase Turbo Tax, usually from the local Sams or Costco. I am happy with the purchase from Amazon.com and will most likely purchase it from here next year too.
