Customer Review: TaxTime
Summary: 5 Stars
After Intuit changed the way (free e-file) the software functioned, it turned out to be a very good product.Customer Review: Taxes
Summary: 3 Stars
The product worked fine, but we were unable to reach deductions equivalent to the standard deductions, in which case the Basic Edition would have been the cheaper way to go.Customer Review: Helpful

I've used Turbo Tax for several years & find it easy to use. This year is no different.Customer Review: Worked for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I only had 1 joint return to do, so Turbo Tax did what I needed it to do. I'm glad that early purchasers of this product spoke up (loudly) about the issue of paying to print out copies and to do more than 1 return. Luckily, the company listened to the outraged customers and fixed it. A rare occurrence in this day and age. As I mentioned, I only needed to do 1 Federal return so all was well for me. The product seems to get better and easier to use each year. I am able to e-file and do my state return (Indiana) for free through the state of Indiana's Government website so all I needed was this program with the free Federal e-file. Check with you own state to see if your state offers something like that before purchasing this programCustomer Review: free irs website has made tt deluxe unnecessary starting this year
Summary: 1 Stars
- i just read the 1-star post down below by the attorney mark Twain (titled something like: You Must Read this Review by a Tax Attorney) that i have seen on all three tt deluxe products, and want to add the following comment stating that mark twain makes good points that i have definitely experienced too. i checked what he said out, and yes, the irs is actually making free online forms available for all filers this year at their website, regardless of one's income, just as he says. i didn't know the irs was doing this! you can find the link at the irs main home page under "free file" on the left side of their web page . . . after selecting that, then click on the "choose fillable forms" button at the bottom of the page. of course, you have to input your own numbers and follow the irs paper instructions, but i am going to do it this year because it is FREE and saves me a bunch of dough when money is tight. for most people i find it is pretty easy anyway to do your own taxes on a 1040 with a couple of the schedules. (plus, if you spend a day this year learning your basic forms, then you can easily replicate it in future years and save every year going forward.) so, like a lot of turbotax users, the ONLY reason i used the tt deluxe software was for the spreadsheet aspects that saved me a bunch of time re-calculating numbers if i later made a change to a form . . . but now that the irs is doing it's own online spreadsheets for free, i am totally excited that i do not have to shell out cash again and go through these software bugs and legal mistakes that the attorney's post talks about. plus, i avoid having to amend my taxes like these other folks had to here, and i save all the time not having to figure out all the bugs and quirks each year in tt's software. thank god. and for people with more complicated returns who know a little about taxes, i imagine they would have no problem using the free irs website, because these folks have to do a lot by hand anyways because tt provides very little guidance other than on the most basic stuff. i really wonder why the irs didn't publicize their website more????
p.s. by the way, tt's "It's Deductible" program in all these deluxe products is a non-selling point and puts way too low values on your donations. go to E-bay instead and use your own values when you do your deductions at the free irs website.
