 change in TurboTax restrictions of use Jan 05, 2009
By M. Hemenway
TurboTax initially upset its long-time users (such as those, like me, who went back to Mac-in-Tax era) by planning to impose a fee for multiple printing of returns. Those of us who find the need to print out sample copies to check over, or who have more than one person in the same household needing to file a separate return, were horrified. They have since changed the policy and now state: "Prepare and print unlimited federal returns; e-file up to five federal returns (per IRS guidelines) at no additional charge"
I'm pleased they have responded to their customers. And, I'm pleased they continue to make a Mac version available.

 TurboTax 2008 Too Taxing for Families Dec 01, 2008
By Ulrike H. McConnell
Be aware! Do you have children or parents that you have been filing returns for? The Intuit TurboTax 2008 license pricing is a dramatic change to your tax preparation expense!
With TurboTax 2007, I completed our return and a return for each of my three minor children. Preparation of up to five returns was included. This year, Intuit wants me to pay a significantly higher price for the first return and pay another $10 for each of my kids returns. You pay when you get to the printing phase, AFTER you have transferred and filled in all of that important information.
Intuit says they have included a federal e-file at no additional charge. If this is all true, what is the 60% price increase Intuit is asking me to pay this year going to do for me?
Even if all you do is your own return, can you believe, with that higher price, that a federal e-file is included at no extra charge?
I have been a TurboTax/MacInTax user for around 20 years but when e-filing has become something Intuit forces everyone to buy, even those who cannot or do not want to use it, it becomes clear that Intuit has lost its way.
Intuit lost a very dedicated customer today. My strong recommendation is that you consider H&R Block's Tax Cut before you decide which tax preparation product to purchase this year.

Extra Charge for every return printed Nov 21, 2008
By L. Johnson
Intuit has raised the price of the product this year with a basically hidden fee. Every time you print a separate return you have to pay an additional fee. NOTE: the fee is not an efile fee... you are charged even if you don't efile but simply want to print another return on your own printer at home! I find this completely unacceptable and after years of using TurboTax I'm going to switch... bye Intuit. Hope you learn that you actually have to treat your customers as if they have some value... you are here because of us, not in spite of us!

Odd One Out Jan 02, 2009
By D.T.
Wow. I guess I'm about the only person who never used Turbo Tax for more than one return. I never would have THOUGHT of using it for more than one return. Didn't know I could and didn't need to anyway.
For my (& my spouse's) use it works perfectly well and at a cost that isn't out of line. I paid less for it this year than I did last year. Plus the e-file's already covered. I've got no complaints. (there's a straight $10 rebate out there if you look for it or you can check out TT's site for comparison shopping)
Regardless...I like the software, I like the results, I've used it for many years and I won't stop now. It's still a good deal for one-filers like me. And according to TurboTax's response to the uproar, it's now even a better deal for people filing multiple returns.

Hidden Price Increase if you need Sched D support Jan 03, 2009
By Miller Craine
"Miller"
I have used TurboTax Deluxe for 12 years. I have always felt that the product was good, but was annoyed by the nickel and diming feature set. To that end, for 2008 I can deal with the price increase with "included" e-filing. I can deal with the pocket picking for filing additional returns. But I cannot deal with the elimination of Schedule D support forcing me to purchase the Premier version at nearly double the price. I am going to TaxACT.
