Software Reviews of TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State 2007 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: fire the accountant
Summary: 5 Stars
This program is so easy to use that you can fire the accountant. It has questions that you answer and it fills it the form for you. If you organize your information, which you need to do anyway, it's very simple. The program also downloads from several sites for additional information such as investments with various firms. Very nice, easy to use program.Customer Review: Expected better
Summary: 2 Stars
I did taxes manually last year (as a first year resident) and decided to go with TurboTax this year, as I thought it would save time and provide some guidance. This has not been the case!
The interview format is for the most part easy to understand. However, for some of the questions you can't really tell where the information will end up in the form and there is limited guidance. At least the IRS forms have instructions for each line (not the case with some of the interview questions in TurboTax) so you can easily go wrong with TT. I discovered that the software calculated my depreciation incorrectly and that I can't change it. Furthermore there is a bug in the SW for my State return so that once I get through 75% of the interview questions, the software removes the extra payment I made with filing my extension (and it cant be undone once this has happened).
Given the uncertainties, I will need to redo everything manually instead so the SW has been of limited use to me. I am surprised of all the positive reviews of TT. Surely many other must have encountered similar problems.
Customer Review: Not good; screwed up my state returns for NY
Summary: 1 Stars
Can't stress enough how lousy Turbotax was for me. The program itself seemed all nice and simple, only to find out from NY state weeks later that they didn't receive all the forms needed for part-year residency. Awesome. This means I need to completely redo my state taxes for NY.
I've tried getting in touch w/Turbotax thru customer support, but every time I call I sit on hold the ENTIRE TIME. I've been calling for two days and have yet to have a service rep even pick up the phone.
Do yourself a favor: skip Turbotax and just go to an accountant. Definitely not worth it in the long run to go Turbotax.
Customer Review: If you have Windows Vista, good luck
Summary: 1 Stars
This product DOES NOT WORK IN WINDOWS VISTA! There are several solutions to all the possible "errors" that occur in Vista but none of these solutions have worked for me, and many others in the discussion of this project below have gone to far greater lengths than I have to fix the errors they keep getting, with no successful results and a lot of stress added to the situation. Do not buy this product, or if you're determined to, really read the reviews to see if you qualify as a "victim of 2008" before purchasing this product.
Here's the problem: TurboTax isn't updated so it wants to update automatically at installation. It's impossible to retrieve updates because Vista does not allow them through, therefore it's impossible to file and get the "up to date" forms that we supposedly need in order to file. Don't bother thinking you can get around the "efile" and simply print the forms. They just print out with the words "DO NOT FILE" written in bold letters all over the paper. This product is a real piece of work, it's just too bad it has people hooked every tax season thinking this is the be-all-end-all way to do taxes. It would be awesome if it didn't suck so much! I'm just sad I had to give it one star, cause it deserves nothing.
Customer Review: turbo tax
Summary: 5 Stars
The software was easy to use and made preparing our taxes much easier. It was nice having ALL the forms we needed as we worked through the process. The prompts in the program given at certain points helped to reduce our tax which was nice.
