> 3 dayProduct is Great. I would give it a 5 if not for price. I started out with the product years ago when it was a low cost option. While it is not so inexpensive these days, it is still my choice.

> 3 dayI used TaxACT (TA) first for a tax assignment and then used TurboTax (TT) to compare and contrast - about 2 months ago. Back then, TT seemed a little bit more user-friendly than TA. I recall the language of TT was simpler, and the interface was nicer and simpler than TA. Overall, the impression I left with was that TT was simpler to use than TA.

Greater than one weeki usually read reviews but i am ashamed to say - do not write them up. i felt that i must warn people so that they may avoid wasting the hours i lost. also, hopefully intuit will make positive changes. the first problem was calling the 1-800 number given on the website for technical support. wait time on the site said 5 minutes. i was put on hold and every few minutes asked to remain on the line for 30 minutes. i gave up and tried again for another 30 minutes. i called another day - same deal for 10 minutes so i decided to google for another number and got service right away. the support tech was great but still could not resolve the problem i had with being able to retrieve the 2009 tax form. if you click on continue it searches and keeps searching. the transfer return button is greyed out. clicking on file tax return does not do it either. what finally worked was going to the file menu and opening up the 2009 return. warning - do not select continue which throws you into searching for the 2009 return. when i get into the search mode it freezes up my mac so i cant log out unless i shut the computer off. and you are back where you started..........

> 3 dayMy second year using this product. It is very easy to use, very intuitive, you can have it interview you or if you have decent tax knowledge you can navigate thru it yourself. I like the automatic downloading of your W2, 1009 data from its partners like ADP. The e-file is also easy and reliable, and if you use it in successive years it automatically accesses last years information and populates common fields and allows you to edit them if you wish. Well worth the money.

Greater than one weekNot only did I save money by doing my own taxes, I saved money by buying this software at Amazon.com. Walmart wanted $20 more than amazon. I just wish I had found this out years ago. I have always bought my tax software at a walmart store and paid too much. Turbotax is so easy to use. Just answer the questions, the same questions your tax professional asks. Its that easy.

> 3 dayOnce again, Turbotax has escorted me through the horribleterribleawful maze of filing Federal Income Tax. After ten years of experience with the software I feel it continues to improve and provide value. I have confidence that things are done correctly. Now, if it could prevent my harddrive from crashing, it would be the best ever.

> 3 dayThis is my first purchase of tax software, Have used professional tax prep for 25 years because of being self employed and not understanding all the necessary forms. My Professional screwed up my 2008 return resulting in several hundred dollars owed in back taxes and penalties. As my business is winding down I did my taxes myself in 2009, so far so good. This year Amazon had the Turbtax version that suited my needs on sale so I tried it. Very easy to use, since I had been filling out an extensive workbook for years for my professional tax preparer gathering my tax data was not any different for the Turbo Tax. Much easier than the manual method ( downloading all the forms, trying to understand the information required) the Turbo Tax walks you through the process. My only complaint was the $19.99 fee to efile the state tax form. This was probably noted somewhere but I missed it until I was ready to file. Well have to see how it all comes out, but it was easy, and hopefully accurate. I will be using it again next year.

> 3 dayAfter working as a contractor in three states in the course of one year, the tax collector from each state came calling. With TurboTax doing the various state taxes - and the federal taxes - was a snap. The federal people were easier to deal with than the state collectors, but TurboTax took care of everything. Worth every penny. Turns what could be a nightmare into an interesting task. It also helps determine the lowest taxes due.

> 3 dayI have used TurboTax for the past 3-4 years to file my taxes. It is super easy to use. I think this year they even improved on the user interface. It was more cost effective purchasing through Amazon.com then any other place I found (online or offline). I would recommend this product to anyone.

> 3 dayIve used TurboTax quite a few times over the years, then tried two expensive accountants for a few years, and came back to TurboTax for 2010. I noticed potential bugs with self-employment health insurance and car depreciation that I had to go onto a forum to get some info about, which was a hassle, but otherwise the program is pretty easy to use. I must say, I do wonder if I am getting all my deductions but I guess thats the risk I take by spending $79 instead of $1500 with my old accountant. (My accountant really is the one who caused me to come back to TurboTax by giving my referrals to him a much better deal to do their taxes than he was giving me. Bad business.)
