Reviewer: Paul Robinson, Kansas City USA
The Turbo Tax people have changed their minds. You don't have to pay $10 per return any more and you get 5 free federal e-files. They heard the complaints and changed their pricing policy.
Great program-falsely Advertised
 
Review Date: February 9, 2009
Reviewer: Onkel Sam, Virginia
I have used TurboTax for at least 10 years, and I find the program to be easy to use and efficient, until I filed electronically the first time this year. I purchased "TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State + E-file". No where did it say I would be required to fork over another $19.95 to file my State return electronically-that is until I had followed all the steps and hit the "E-file" button! This is a gross misrepresentation in the name of the product. Buyer beware. Intuit is apparently comfortable with having irate and dissatisfied customers. Next year, I'll look elsewhere!
Don't understand what the problem is....
 
Review Date: February 3, 2009
Reviewer: R. Carignan, Wisconsin
Well after reading endless negative reviews i was quite leary of purchasing the latetest version of TT, but I had absolutly NO ISSUES with the download or any "hidden" charges.

The download took about 1 min and the installation took about 4 mins on my laptop wireless connection. The E-file for Federal was Free and it cost $19.95 to efile your state. So my total cost was $48+$19= $67, yea it's a little more than last year but if you are using the efile for both it's not that much more.

From the time I purchased the download to when i finished and filed both Federal and State was about 2.5 hours, easy software to operate

Incredibly Easy Download and Install
 
Review Date: February 8, 2009
Reviewer: G. Calle, Moorpark, CA USA
I don't normally review products, as there are already so many excellent reviews on Amazon that my own review usually amounts to nothing more than an "I second that!" That said, I just have to comment on this product because the existing reviews are so lopsided that they almost kept me from purchasing the product. Specifically, several reviews mention the complexity and installation nightmare associated with buying the downloadable version of this product. I simply don't get that. I purchased the product, installed the Amazon downloader, and within 1 minute, had the software on my machine and ready for installation. Once the software is on your machine, the Amazon downloader has absolutely nothing to do with actually installing TurboTax. In fact, the Amazon downloader is nothing more than a download manager intended to avoid frustrations with interrupted downloads, etc. Once the TurboTax installer was on my system, I uninstalled the Amazon downloader as I had no further use for it. After that, I installed TurboTax without a glitch.

To previous reviewers that had installation issues, I don't challenge your installation difficulities, but you should realize that an installation from a TurboTax CD would have had the exact same issue as the installation you downloaded. They are in fact, the exact same installer. The CD/download choice is simply a choice about preferred delivery method. If you like having a CD and are willing to wait for the product to ship, buy that version. If you need it instantly, or are concerned about the unnecessary waste associated with shipping a product across the country, buy the downloadable version without hesitation.
Don't Panic-Excellent Product, you get what is shown
 
Review Date: February 22, 2009
Reviewer: Michelle Nordquist,
Before buying Turbo Tax Deluxe Federal + state + e-file , I read all kinds of online complaints that when you buy the Turbo Tax Deluxe Federal + state + e-file that you will have to pay $39.95 more for the state. This is not true unless you plan to do your taxes for more than one state. One state download is indeed free (included with the purchase of the product (Turbo Tax Deluxe Federal + state + e-file). Also, I read that you have to pay $9.95 for each additional federal filing, this is not true also. You can get up to 5 federal e-files included with this purchase. There is no reason why this product should receive less than five stars, I think any of the lesser ratings were premature, or due to user error. Very simple to download and use, and there is no bait & switch. Michelle
