Summary: don't buy this product!!
Review: After loading turbo tax on my system, I started having virtual memory problems, AND I have 1 GIG of RAM! I found out a secret program called C_dilla was hogging up system resources. I tried to remove this C_dilla program and my system won't boot.
This turbo tax is [no good}. I will never buy another Inuit product again. I HAD BEEN a loyal user for over 4 years.
NO MORE!

Summary: Kills your virtual memory! C_dilla on turbo Tax
Review: I have a dual 1 gig processor system. When I loaded TurboTax on the system, my system started having problems with virtual memory, and I have 1 gig of Ram. I found out a program that turbo tax hides on your drive called C_dilla was using up all my system resources. Do not try to remove it, this C-dilla program writes itself to the master boot record and even after you unistall turbo tax and try to do a manual removal of its components in the registry, the mbr tries to find it and your system crashes. this software is not worth the hassle.

Summary: TERRIBLE PRODUCT - TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE - zero stars
Review: My CD contained nothing but 11 audio tracks. Office Max would not give me a refund. Intuit would not give me an explanation. I don't trust a software company that has no control over what code goes into it's product when the subject is something as important as my tax returns. Don't buy this garbage.

Summary: Couldn't Even Install it
Review: My Cd sleeve didn't contain the product key necessary to install the software. Intuit's answer was to mail it back to them and they'd replace. That does me no good because I have time to work on taxes now, not in 2 weeks. Add that to the spyware controversy--I'm going to buy TaxCut. Turbo Tax has lost me, a many year customer, probably forever.

Summary: Unacceptable
Review: The inclusion of an unremovable spyware program (c-dilla) is insulting, and enough to ensure I never buy another Intuit program.

Summary: As a long time user this will be my last year with TurboTax
Review: I have been using TurboTax for years. Overall the program is easy to use and nicely done. However, each year Intuit gets more obtrusive and obnoxious about licensing and installing unwanted garbage on my machine. This year (Tax Year 2002) the install program littered my desktop with spam. The installer also installed a hidden program on my disk drive called C_Dilla. It is part of the copy protection scheme, but C_Dilla is well known to the programming community. C_DILLA products can block access to copying CDs, spy on other files, and cause other ptoblems. It is not clear which parts of C_DILLA TurbTax installs, but installing hidden files on my machine is not very nice. I am presumed guilty I guess. Oh yeah, the hidden files are not removed when you un-install. Nice touch Intuit. Also, if you ever want to re-install this program in the future (like if you get audited) you are out of luck. They boast that it will only install once (for printing) and if you change PCs or uninstall you must buy another license! (If they still sell it when you are getting audited in the future). This worries me. Next year I will be checking out the competition.

Summary: Extremely displeased with Intuit..
Review: Turbo Tax 2002 works great! The interface is intuitive and very easy to use. Returns are quick to setup and easy to edit without ever having to look at a real form. The final return on review is very accurate. I had no trouble creating my return and then filing it electronically. So I'm very happy with the functionality of the software. However the copy-protection scheme that Intuit has decided to integrate into Turbo Tax 2002 is absolutely unacceptable! The C-Dilla software is nearly impossible to eliminate and makes upgrading your computer extremely inconvenient. The thought of more companies adopting this copy-protection technique is extremely disconcerting. In protest I will not be purchasing this product next year unless Intuit removes the C-Dilla copy-protection from their products.

Summary: no stars not an option?
Review: I love the Turbo tax program, used it year after year...but this version is totally internet dependent and if you don't have a DSL or Cable connection you may as well forget it. I tried using it on two computers, one trial, one transmitable, and the transmitable one won't read the data on the disk! Long and short of it...why don't they just have us pay them for licensing when we transmit or print? wouldn't that make more sense????
Yes, I've been hanging with support..."sounds like a bad copy on the floppy, save again". The fifth time you get the same response your ready to shred the disk!!!!

Summary: Do not buy this program!!!
Review: I installed the program and suddenly my computer started crashing. The program appears to install some spyware that was probably the source of the conflicts. I uninstalled the program but my computer continued to have problems. It's been a horror. I will probably have to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system because of the program. I should never have agreed to the terms. I just wish I could have returned the program but it was too late because I had opened the box. It's not worth it. In the future I will use TaxCut by H&R Block.
