It’s never easy to make a decision regarding the correct way to proceed with this. Challenging though it may be, decisions must be made.

I was reluctant to buy Turbotax again this year because of all the negative reviews. I decided taking a chance with Turbotax was still more desirable than paying someone to do my taxes for me, though, so I bought it anyway. It worked perfectly. I had no problems loading or using the software. However, I do recommend downloading the updates; they must be there for a reason.

After years with TurboTax, I switched to TaxCut.Primarily because Intuit charges a premium to Mac users, and because of the spyware issue of two years ago. Now, they have corrected the pricing issue, Mac and PC software on the same disc. But they have added the problem of installation issues. And the spyware monkey is on their back again.

While the spyware issue seems to be untrue, they are having significant problems with convoluted installation processes. Just as well to stay clear and try TaxCut instead.

Almost every single piece of software we have nowadays is backwards compatible. A Word document created with Office98 should and will work with Office 2003. Not so says Intuit. TurboTax can only open a 2003 Turbo Tax file through a process called "transfer", and it wont open up any .tax files beyond that!

I bought this product after I realized that I need a copy of my tax forms for the year 2001. TurboTax 2001 did not have an option save a file in pdf format back then, but I still managed to find a copy of my records in .tax file. Since I have switched to a new computer from 3 years ago, I downloaded TurboTax2004 thinking that it would open up my tax records for 2001. I was wrong. When I called for support, I was able to talk to a nice Indian lady who at first directed me to a TurboTax site which had a vault feature saving previous tax records. Unfortunately, that website started to keep records only from 2003, so I still did not have the info which I want. So finally the support lady gave me an 1-800 number to call the IRS. From there I had to submit a form and pay $40 to get the info, which would take probably weeks to obtain.

Featurewise TurboTax is pretty good. Unlike some cheaper products it has features such as error checking which can be important. However, I should warn that this software does have an annoying tendency to spam additional features as you go through the process. Rating: 1 / 5

We used TurboTax for a couple of years then switched to TaxCut on the advice of friends. We were amazed at how much more money TaxCut saved us! TaxCut is more knowledgeable when it comes to making the most of ones deductions. We are sorry we didn’t switch last year.

Don’t do it! Most likely it won’t install correctly. Many people this year, including me, simply cannot run Turbo Tax. I spent hours on tech support TWICE, tried the “fixes” on the message boards at their web site, and still nothing. It simply will NOT run.

Intuit used to be a good company with good products and good customer service and tech support. But that was 10 years ago. Now? Lousy everything. I know more about their products than their tech support people. They seem to have been pulled off the street and given one hour of training.

I may try Tax Cut but I’m bummed about the review below that says TT is better than Tax Cut. If that’s true, TC must REALLY be lousy! But what else can I do? TT won’t work on my computer.
