Summary: Intuit better tread carefully
Review: After reading all of these reviews, it sounds like Intuit was a tad bit zealous. If that's true about having to buy another license if you switch to a new computer or hard drive, that is very wrong of Intuit. Not everyone copies the software. Give the customer the benefit of the doubt.
Question: Does anyone who has installed Turbotax with the accompanying C_Dilla software experienced any problems burning CD's?
And can anyone corroborate that the Safecast/C_Dilla stuff actually *does* written data to a hidden area on the hard disk that necessitates a low-level format to remove? Where did this bit of information come from?

Summary: Product Activation Stinks
Review: I am a CPA and have been using Turbo Tax for years to do my taxes. Because of the "Product Activation" now locking Turbo Tax to a single computer for that year, I am switching to Tax Cut to do my tax returns.

Summary: No Ability to Store
Review: I have been using this product for 7-8 years and have always kept my old copies to help with subsequent years. To do that you need to be able to run the software on multiple machines. I certainly have changed computers several times over that period. The new product can only be housed on one computer and cannot be copied to other machines. I simply can not use it under those circumstances and will have to use H&R software this year.

Summary: Activation and Safecast is terrible
Review: Intuit has made a huge mistake by requiring activation and adding Safecast to TurboTax. Reinstalling this software on a different machine in the future should be allowed without having to call the company. Safecast is "big brother."I have switched and will not buy software from Intuit again. Intuit - wake up. You just lost another customer.

Summary: Can only print and read forms from one machine
Review: Stay away from this years Turbo Tax because:
1) The new activation scheme limits you to use it effectively on only one machine. The company says you can install it on different machines but you can only print and see the forms on the one machine that has been activated. The only thing you can do on any other machine is go through the interview process. You can not see the resulting forms or print without activating. How totally useless!
2) If you upgrade your hard drive (easy to do with prices falling for hard drives) or get a new machine you must buy another copy of Turbo Tax, even if you removed the first install. Its like selling a wrench to a mechanic that can only be used on one car only.

Summary: Turbo tax no longer works
Review: I have used turbo tax for the last 3 years and have been very happy with it. However this 2002 version is probably that last one I'll ever buy. The new activation feature, which is meant to prevent people from sharing the program, only served in preventing me from loading it onto my computer.
I contacted Intuit trying to resolve the problem and so far have recieved what basically amounts to a "run around".
I have never used the competitor's software, but this year I'm going to have to give it a try due to turbo tax not working. Save your money and your heartache and buy something else.

Summary: You don't want bugs on your financial software!!!
Review: I used this product for few years. This version just does not work for me. Tried to enter my stock options income and I could enter only one transaction. After that it got in some kind of loop. ... I will return this product.

Summary: I didn't have the problems others seem to be having
Review: I almost didn't buy this program this year, after using it the last three years, based on the reviews I read here. However, I went ahead and gave it a shot and I found that a lot of the info in the others reviews was wrong. Yes, this version of Turbotax puts a few icons on the desktop, as do all the Intuit programs - but it only took a few seconds to delete them, and the software did not install any other programs or spyware/adware on my computer. Contrary to some reviews here it does import tax data from previous years, just like it always has. As for the product activation, it only took a few seconds, and again, contrary to other reviews on this site, it doesn't prevent you from installing this software on other computers - it only requires that you file from the first computer you install it on. I haven't done my tax return yet, so I can't comment on the acuracy of the calculations, but I have no reason to believe there are any significant deficiencies in that area.

Summary: No to TurboTax
Review: Intuit's TurboTax installs C-Dilla spyware, which hogs your computers resources, and doesn't get removed when Turbotax is uninstalled. You would also have to purchase a new copy or spend lots of time on the phone with intuit trying to convince them your not a criminal if you upgrade yoru machine. None of that is worth it.
How dare they add anything that could remotely be spyware to one of the most sensitive things (Tax return) that's on my computer.
