Average Rating: out of 5 stars

- Great way to prepare taxes.
Been using these programs for years. They make the whole process pretty easy. I like owning the program so that I can easily open my electronic tax files in the future and not rely on obtaining access to previous year programs thru web servers.

- In Response to Basic Macintosh Version - Round Off Flaw Found... NOT TRUE
TurboTax properly rounds off based on IRS rules. Amounts less than 50 cents are rounded down to the nearest dollar while amounts more than 49 cents are rounded up to the next dollar. This is in accordance with IRS rules and TurboTax is in compliance with this.

I'm confident that when you follow these rules, you'll find TurboTax correctly computes all amounts.

(By the way, I'm assigning a 3-star rating so as to not bias the results since this is the midpoint.)

This is a math error and the IRS can red flag it.

I remember several years ago I purchased the Deluxe ... Read More

As another reviewer says:

"But the final tax forms I needed to file with were not included on the CD-ROM package. TurboTax instructed me to get them by using "one-click update." Well after I update and attempt to restart the software, TurboTax refuses to come up at all."

Exactly. I've re-installed it over and over and the same thing happens. I've used Turbotax in previous years and never had a problem like this. After spending hours entering in my data, there is apparently ... Read More

- Mac Version... 2 Thumbs down!!!
This was my first time to ever attempt using a software program to file my taxes. TurboTax sounded easy enough. And it was pretty easy at first. The software interviewed me in an efficent manner and saved all of my information. But the final tax forms I needed to file with were not included on the CD-ROM package. TurboTax instructed me to get them by using "one-click update." Well after I update and attempt to restart the software, TurboTax refuses to come up at all. I can't speak for this software ...
