  Duration of ownership: 60 Days

  Strengths: Automatically goes into the next section required. Finds errors immediately before moving on to the next section. Ample opportunity to go back and make changes/corrections.

  Weaknesses:None that I found.

  Overall Evaluation: I have been unsuccessful in completing my own income tax preparation in the past without having errors brought to my attention, thus, changing the amount I thought I was getting back. I admit that I'm a bit "computer challenged" and don't always get computer program instructions the first time. TurboTax was EASY for even me to follow and complete. My refund was deposited into my checking account within two weeks, and at the same amount I had requested to get back. I will definitely purchase TurboTax again next year.

  Strengths: Easy to download. Turbo Tax CD runs updates in the event that the software updates. Overall a perfect product for my semi-basic needs.

  Weaknesses:The software does not make it easy to mail your State Taxes as apposed to e-filing, which is an additional $19.95. The software allows you to e-file free of charge, so take advantage of that.

  Overall Evaluation: Overall a perfect product for my semi-basic needs. I experienced no problems as the instructions were very comprehensive and easy to follow. I will set a Price Alert to receive my desired price using PriceGrabber.com and purchase Turbo Tax for 2009. Thank you.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: *Ability to file multiple free e-filings.*Gets progressively more thorough every year.

  Weaknesses:None observed.

  Overall Evaluation: Have used TurboTax since its origination. Each time I use a competitor's product, I am disappointed and come back to TurboTax. This year's version seems to be the best, most thorough yet. Though they seem to want to push you to buy the Premium version for handling investments, I have had no difficulty filing with the existing tools in the Deluxe version. Since I have to file for several of my kids, the multiple free e-filing was a nice addition to this year.

  Duration of ownership: 1 Months

  Strengths: Loads first time, regularly updated, running counter showing taxes owed/due. Handles non-taxable pension income better than past years.

  Weaknesses:Very poor at importing data from preveous year tax software (from competitors) ability to download W-2s 1099's is still limited

  Overall Evaluation: Have used this product and similar products for at least 10 years. Some years all the changes are better, other years they are not. All should do better job of importing data from exterior sources.

  Duration of ownership: 30 Days

  Strengths: finds all of your deductions

  Weaknesses:poor interface with last years version

  Overall Evaluation: I really liked the product except for one thing, interface with last years version. You should be able to transfer all the information from last years taxes into this one. Well, last year I used the online version and this year I used the disk. It tells you how to do the transfer, but it isn't easy. I missed one step that was kind of vague, and I had to start my taxes all over after I had completed the federal portion. Other than that one thing, a pretty good product.
