Summary: Say "GOODBYE" to Turbo Tax!
Review: I won't buy this program anymore. I even return the one I bought before activate it.

Summary: horrible
Review: I could not install this software on my computer though I have used it for over 5 years previously without problems. I spent hours online getting bad advice and finally a free telephone conference(I had to pay for the phone line) with an expert. You cannot use this software if you use a firewall. The TurboTAx experts will stonewall you on this--they know there is a problem but will not come clean. Do not purchase this software.

Summary: TurboTax Works. It does not contain Spyware
Review: I am appalled at the complaints that other reviewer's of this product have raised. TurboTax works, it saves us time and money and these complaints seem to be extreme. I bought this program, filled in my taxes and printed out the form. They also offered my an e-file option. I'm a satisfied customer. The only inconvenience that these folks are complaining is about is an anti-privacy function. You have to type in a short code when you first use the program so that you can't buy one and let 50 people use it. Seems like commonsense to me. No personal info is sent to the company and it is far less invasive than the things that MSFT, AOL and everyone else is doing. If they didn';t do this, they would be out of business and we would all have to go back to the days when accounts and the IRS were in control. Definitely not a good choice.

Summary: Paying twice to print your tax form ...
Review: It is incredibly unfortunate that I did not read this site before purchasing turbotax this year. I have been a loyal customer of Intuit products since 1988, but now I feel insulted, betrayed, and literally screwed over. Unfortunately, I want to print my tax form from my home computer even though I installed turbo tax on my notebook. In order to do this, I have to pay for turbotax one more time! .... Well if I have to pay twice, my second payment is not going to Intuit. In fact, I will not upgrade Quicken, nor can I forsee ever purchasing an Intuit product again. Unfortunately, I see that this product is rated #5 in Amazon sales. I guess Intuit will not get the message this year. If you are considering the purchase of this product, please, please read these reviews. Support only companies that reward loyalty. Avoid companies like Intuit, that treat loyal customers as software pirates.

Summary: I'm Done With Turbo Tax
Review: I've been using Turbo Tax since the second year it was available and long before it was purchased by Intuit. I am also a long time Quicken and Quickbooks user. This will be the last year I will purchase any Intuit product because of the product activation policy. The new policy allows you to install Turbo Tax on one computer, one time only. In my case, I first installed it on my notebook, then decided that preparing taxes on a notebook keyboard is not a good idea. When I tried to install the product on my desktop and uninstall it on my desktop PC, product activation told me I could not install a fully working product on my desktop unless I paid for the product again. I called tech support and asked for help and was told that the policy only allows one installation on one PC, no exceptions. That is unacceptable. No matter how well Turbo Tax helps prepare taxes, Intuit's new policy makes this an unacceptable product. Avoid it at all costs and show Intuit what you think of their new policy.

Summary: Spyware loses Intuit a loyal customer
Review: Well, I was going to buy the latest edition of Turbotax, like I do every year, when the C-Dilla (or whatever that spyware is called this week) story came out. Intuit says it isn't spyware but there is an overwhelming pile of data that says this stuff can and does cause problems. I don't feel that lucky. I checked my records and I've been a satisfied and loyal user of Turbotax for at least 9 years, probably 10. But no more. I sent an inquiry to their customer support, asking if it's true there's spyware, and are they planning to offer any version without that? No reply. Intuit, its maker, seems to be concerned about people copying their software and giving it to their friends. For my part, the thought never occurred to me; I'm usually doing this stuff on the very last day anyway. So the question for Intuit is, are you losing more revenue through copying, or through ticked-off former customers beating feet to your less heavy-handed competition? Time will tell. Meanwhile, I'm going to take a really close look at H&R Block's TaxCut.

Summary: Added "Spyware" to this year's version-Don't Buy It!
Review: Intuit added software to their product called C-Dilla which runs on the user's machine all the time and won't uninstall even after you've uninstalled Turbotax. It is installed without the user's permission, and is not even refered to in the license agreement. I have went to TaxCut and have found it to work just as well (without the added Spyware software).

Summary: Buy TaxCut
Review: If your computer fails, if your printer fails, or if your hard drive fails; you must buy another copy of Turbotax. A 10+ year user of Turbotax. Never again!! Buy TaxCut.

Summary: Bye-bye TT
Review: Please forgive the single star rating, there wasn't an option for no stars. Intuit has joined the parade of companies that treat their customers as thieves. They've included the C-dilla spyware with the TT program so they can prevent you from using the software on more than one machine. The utterly galling thing is that they don't tell you they've done this. This spyware cannot be removed with the deinstaller they provide. It remains on your system even if you remove TT and it runs all the time. I've used their products for years now but I will not buy it ever again. I am switching to a competitor and I recommend that you do the same.

Summary: Turbo Spyware!
Review: I used TurboTax for four years, 1998 thru 2001, with no reservations, but not anymore. TurboTax 2002 installs a program on your hard drive named "C Dilla" (aka "SafeDisc", "SafeDisc HD" and "SafeCast") marketed by MacroVision. This program is suppose to prevent unauthorized duplication of the software to other computers and is automatically installed without your permission. When you uninstall TurboTax, the sneaky little spyware program does not uninstall. It will run on your computer always, possibly logging your activities, disabling your Write function of your R/W CD drive (which C-Dilla was designed to do) if the program doesn't like what it sees, monitoring your system, preventing "certain" internet downloads and possibly other activities. Some reports state that you may have to reformat your harddrive to completely remove C-Dilla. TurboTax was good before, but not that good. I am done with Intuit. Reason? If they will do this with TurboTax, what other products are they using to camouflage spyware in? GoodBye Quicken. Here are some alternatives to TurboTax:
