  Duration of ownership: 2 Years

  Strengths: It's over priced

  Weaknesses:You have to over pay for the product each year and they over charge you $30 t E-file

  Overall Evaluation: This is my second and last year using Turbo Tax. The company over charges making users buy the entire software package each year and now it is being petty and over charging for E-filing, trying to get everything it can from users. Better products are available for less$$

  Strengths: Software works fine and is quite convenient.

  Weaknesses:They advertise a $14.95 e-filing fee and then try to sneak in a $29.95 "processing fee" that is unexplained anywhere. TOTAL RIPOFF!

  Overall Evaluation: Don't e-file. And since they are sneaky bastards about the processing fee, take your business somewhere else. They go out of their way to hide the processing fee from you and present it as if it's totally normal.

  Strengths: Easy to use, comprehensive advice, beginners can use easy step or experienced users can go straight to forms, very well organized

  Weaknesses:none

  Overall Evaluation: I have used Turbotax for 15 years. The product continues to improve. I have little experience with other tax preparation software. I have never felt the need to change from what I consider to be the best product.

  Strengths: Covers a broad range if not the total range of the tax code.Navigation is improved over previous years. The ability to edit a form to override the interview process works.

  Weaknesses:Does NOT import TaxCut data. One of the problems with the interview method is that often the program asks questions one does not know how to handle. The default answer has to be "No."

  Overall Evaluation: This program is reasonably good and gets the needed results. I have traditionally used my Mac to do taxes rather than my PC because I preferred the interface and file management on my Mac. I used TurboTax for several years until it became obnoxiously difficult to navigate and then I switched to TaxCut for several years, finding it much easier to use. Unfortunately, Taxcut is no longer available on the Mac. I could have switched to my PC and continued to use TaxCut. The advantage to this would be the ability to import last years TaxCut data. I decided instead to try TurboTax again based on a discussion I had with a TurboTax rep at last years Mac show in San Francisco. He suggested they had worked very hard to improve navigation and it was worth the change back to TurboTax. As it turns out he was right.
