"Forced to Upgrade to Premier --- to get options available in Deluxe last year" on by mlc465782
Pros: Custom interviews help a lot ; ability to import last year's data
Cons: last year Employee Stock Sales were included as part of the Deluxe Package; this year I was forced to upgrade to be able to complete my return
Summary: I have used Turbo Tax for as long as it was available; but I believe next year I will try another tax package. The problem with the employee stock sales really was the icing on the cake. New and upgraded versions, should add function.. not reduce it. Also.. I had difficulty with some of the interviews this year so had to go back three and four times to make sure the info was correct. Intuit used to be the 'king of the hill' in my book.. no more based on Turbo Tax and Quicken's latest versions.

"TurboTax Deluxe 2004 a disappointment" on by LMITCHEL
Pros: Transfers prior-year data, easy interview style.
Cons: This year: downloading updates was a fiasco.
Summary: [Review of TT 2004 Deluxe, not Premier] This may be the last year I use TurboTax. I don't think my problems had anything to do with using "Deluxe" and not "Premier." I have been absolutely unable to download updated forms, and one (Form 6198) TT seems to think I must use, even though it does not apply to my case at all. I followed Intuit's directions, and uninstalled/reinstalled the software--- and now have lost my State download. Thank God, I had printed a copy of both returns, and will be filing that by mail, complete with "NOT FINAL FORM" printed several times through the offending form AND Schedule E. Come to think of it, I had problems with late-updates on forms last year.
And try to get some support! That is enough to drive one mad. The support form I filled out on this problem was rejected because I hadn't supplied a "topic." The pull-down list of support "topics" included ONLY "<Select a topic>"--- so their system rejected the request. -
"does not pay to be a consumer" on by ydavid
Pros: they used to be the best
Cons: now you can not trust them
Summary: I have been a loyal PURCHASER of TurboTax deluxe for 5 years. I have been doing the same type of taxes for 5 years. Every year like clockwork I would go out and buy TurboTax deluxe. To my surprise, I find out that I am no longer allowed to enter any employee stock plans (options or ESPP). I am furious because this used to be in the deluxe version, now you need to upgrade to the premium version. I will not be a prisoner to “Get Less Pay More.” Soon the program is only going to be good for is typing in your name. Next year, I am switching!

"GOOD SOFTWARE FOR TAXES" on by Steve23t
Pros: Easy to setup, easy to use, the language was very easy to understand. Didn't have that TAX/ACCOUNTANT lingo to confuse you
Cons: don't think I found any cons and I am a first time user
Summary: Overall I was very satisfied with TURBOTAX. I popped in the cd-rom and it did not start out with usual rubbish but rather it went straight to asking for your information while it downloads. Very easy to use as it asks you questions and you just type in with it doing all the calculations. Langauage was very understandable nothing to throw off anyone. Even if there was something unclear you could just click on the side for get answer and it would explain in deeper detail.
DEFINTELY worth the money, beats going to H&R Block or Jackson Hewitt and spending $95.00 - $120.00 bucks

"2010 has some weird import problems" on by Immunizer
Pros: Its pretty easy to use.
Cons: While importing this year some of my family stuff changed and I could not change it. I had to re-start the process all over again. It was bit worse because I went through all the help screens and forums trying to change it and ended up spending 30 mins
