Pros: Ease of use
Cons: Occasional terminilogy hard to understand
About Me: I have kids
More About Me: I own a home
"A superb product. I have been using it for years and it has never failed me. Information is carred over from year to year, shortening process. Questions are comprehensive and simple. Error checking is simple and quick. And the quick tabulation at the top, of taxes owed, is both interesting and reassuring."

Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008
Anonymous
(Florida)
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Sometimes I have to search for a specific form
About Me: I own a home
"I have used Turbo Tax for several years and it helps me through the forms and I don't have to read all of the tax information booklets to know if I need to use a specific form or not. My questions are answered on the program and so I not had any reviews since using Turbo Tax. God bless the writers for making taxes easy."

Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008
Anonymous
Pros: easy to use
Cons: none found
"I have used TurboTax Software over many years. This year I decided on the "no frills" approach. Products was simple and easy to use. My only concern is that nothing said to be sure to add the intuitelectronicfiling address to your address book in the beginning of the program. If you have email blocking you may not get the email updates."

Pros: Easy to Use
Cons: Have to dig through different views in the basic
About Me: I have a side income
More About Me: I own a business
"Using the basic turbo Tax you will have to do more digging for catagories and locatins to enter information, but after using T.T for years I have learned to do this. If you are new to T.T I suggest you purchase the deluxe version."

Pros: If you have not tried turbotax software, you need to leave now and purchase this product yesterday.
Cons: NONE
More About Me: I own a home
"My wife and I was uncertain if we could file our taxes correctly, without errors. Once you place the disc into the harddrive everything is at your fingertips. This program is very user friendly. If everyone in America would purchase TurboTax life could be easier filing income taxes and cost much cheaper."
