TurboTax State Multi-State 2004 Win/Mac

Summary: Won't install on a Mac
Review: As it presently stands, this product will not install on a Mac, and the company is saying that an installable disc won't be available until "late January or February." How, one might reasonably ask, can a company ship a product that won't install? And why do they not make this blunder public (on their web site, for instance) and pull the product from the shelves?

Summary: Fails to install on mac OS X 10.3
Review: As other reviews have stated, this product simply fails to install. It assumes you are attempting to purchase a second state product. This is absolutely absurd. I purchased software that won't even install. Don't buy this. Just buy the Turbo Tax Deluxe and download the state software through it. The rebate is the same and maybe that method will work. If you did buy this, make sure your voice is heard by Intuit. [...]

Summary: Won't Install on My Mac Either
Review: I installed Turbotax Federal without a hitch. But the State program seems to assume I have already installed one State version when I haven't and keeps asking for a license key. When I click on the State section in Turbotax Federal it confirms that no State program is installed. This product has no value to me as I cannot install it. Intuit should do a better job of taking care of its customers.

Summary: Turbo State Tax
Review: Note the following from Intuit which may be the reason for the confusion and why the disks do not work. Possibly I wish they would go back to last year where you received a free state product online, after the Tax is available.
This is the Intuit list:

Summary: Bait and Delay
Review: Unlike the Mac Version, the Windows version will install . . . but the installation is nothing more than a promise to download the real program once its available. Moreover, the availibility date keeps slipping for California. First, it was supposed to be available Dec. 20, then Dec. 24, now it says "on or after Dec. 28." Since one of the major purposes of buying the software is to plan my taxes before year end, having it slip to December 28 is naturally a problem. What's more, I am not exactly full of confidence that it will even be available then.

Ironically, the Intuit website says "don't worry, the date on your CD will be the date that the software is available." Um, guys? Then why do you keep changing the date on the CD?

Yeesh.
