Summary: Product does NOT work for me
Review: some kind of internet registration new for this year is causing me to not be able to use the software I just bought.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Big brother comes again
Review: The last thing that I want on my tax software is something that only allows me to use it on one computer and a possible big brother looking at my taxes -- that's worse than Microsoft and activation. I'm trying to return this piece of cr@p.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dont even think about it. TurboTax is useless junk now.
Review: This is just unbeleivable. Whatever they did to the software this year has made it downright useless. I cannot get any updates over the Internet and without them the return is well, useless to me. Never again will I fiddle with anything from Intuit, Inc. Preparing my taxes is too important.

Man, what a disappointment. Time to shell out [$$$] and let my neighbor prepare my taxes from now on.

Intuit took a really good product and totally screwed it up.

Summary: Dont even think about it. TurboTax is useless junk now.
Review: This is my first time to use TurboTax. I followed the installation directions EXACTLY, which included some odd things like making sure absolutely every program on the computer is closed and deactivating the virus protection software (temporarily) for the installation period. I also was on a cable modem connection to the net, so when it was time to activate the software, & to update anything, it was instant and easy. I bought TurboTax because I knew I needed many schedules & forms that I've not used in the past, and the interview process made it easy - the program decides which forms to use. Also, when I discovered & entered a change that saved me hundreds of dollars, the software made the change throughout all forms in both federal & state returns instantly. I'm pretty happy with it overall, & I plan to use it again next year.

Summary: [stinks]!
Review: This is my second year with this software. We earn about [$], which means I have to calculate my Roth contribution. This year the software refused to do this. I am stuck ordering IRS guides and calculating the results myself. Also, I had a large refund on my state taxes, which may or not be taxable according on my federal return. Turbo tax choked again, and I am again now scrounging for forms and calculators. Who knows what other failures will result?

I didn't think I would be ordering forms and crunching numbers this year!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Avoid Intuit at all costs
Review: This product frequently leads to "illegal operation" and there is no phone support.The live Chat feature does not work and the advertised Free state is a 29.95 charge that you then need to seek a refund for later.Awful, is my rating !

Summary: Goodbye Turbo Tax!
Review: This will be my last year (assuming I get through it this time.) Imagine my surprise when I tried to import my data from Quicken (2000) and was told I would have to upgrade to at least Q2001 to have this work! No warnings that this software was not backwards compatible with past versions of Quicken! In adition the software is filled with plugs for other products and services. I think Intuit has forgotten their customers in their greed to squeeze every nickle out of them. Dissatisfied? That hardly seems strong enough!

Summary: Beware
Review: Turbo Tax has added a terrible copy protection scheme.
- If you need to reinstall or move to a new computer, you will likely need to call TurboTax to reactivate. Do you want to take a chance of that happening the day you want to file your taxes?
- The C-dilla is an intrusive and potentailly toublesome peice of code. It is very difficult to remove, takes a meg of memory, and imposes itself in the drive chain to your harddrive. There are many reports of decreased disk performance and anadotal stories of other problems. Do you want to take a chance?
