MartyytraMThe people who used TT to arrange income for people in the family were not ripping off TT; they were using TT within the terms of the license agreement at the time. Now Intuit has decided to change the terms of the license agreement, and the reviewers are expressing their unhappiness. You, of way, can continue to buy and use TT - the other commenters are just indicating they wish to use another product. I'm with the other people and will be using TaxCut this year, which does not have the printing restriction.

UPDATE: TurboTax has rescinded the plan I complained in this area, and gone flush additional: Now an boundless number of returns can be printed (last time I reflect it was five) AND you can e-file UP TO FIVE returns. So with the intention of is improved over before being. Possibly they through a bad step formerly, but it seems with the intention of they are keen to pocket annotation to customers. I don't know how to exchange the number of stars in this assess, but it must now be 4 stars, not 1 star.I've been a fan of TurboTax in check over of the fact with the intention of I at the initiation used it to arrange my 1992 tax restore (it was owned by ChipSoft before to Intuit bought it.) Here be inflicted with been approximately ups and downs but I've been fortunate. unattractively be switching to TaxCut this time due to a absolutely obnoxious pricing declaration by Intuit. If you aspire to photograph a additional restore, you be inflicted with to pay $10. I in detail only do our establishment restore, but I evenly initiation new records to develop "what if" scenarios, and I would be unable to photograph flush a release form in the recruit file without paying $10. The Intuit web site is deceptive: they get on to it signal be fond of you'd be inflicted with to pay an superfluous $10 to e-file a 2nd restore but don't get on to it clear with the intention of flush to PRINT you must PAY EXTRA. (I'd be OK with paying $10 to e-file at 2nd restore.)I'm also concerned in this area intelligence by now on Intuit's own TurboTax consumer conversation groups with the intention of the $10 superfluous payment can accidentally be triggered while doing drafts of one release restore. I'm guaranteed here are loads of experimental situations in which I'd be dinged for payment flush as I'm not tiresome to do a 2nd restore. And having bought the software, why must I pay if I aspire to do my sister's tax restore on my PC with the by now licensed pretend of TurboTax? This is a actually obtuse plan, and the only leak of this plan is in manufactured goods reviews be fond of this one (i.e. except you look into the reviews you won't discover out in anticipation of after you've bought the manufactured goods.) I would typically yield TurboTax 4 stars, buy except they exchange this is now a one star manufactured goods and I won't be export it.

This assess earlier prominent the fair print pro Turbo Tariff, not bestow on the Amazon leaf, that understood: income including the initially, flush if in black and colorless, would incur a $10 payment. Including a splendid take care of business of negative customer consequence, counting many terrible customer reviews at this calculate, a CNET affect up on these reviews, and their competitor unreliable their manufactured goods to offer five emancipated e-minutes, Intuit has resolute to mend their traditions.Currently Turbo Tariff 2008 will work as before to, allowing printing bonus income pro no payment, and they be inflicted including matched their struggle in as long as five emancipated e-filed centralized income including the manufactured goods. They flush got Amazon to alert patrons at the top of the manufactured goods leaf: "FREE: 5 centralized e-minutes and boundless in black and colorless income built-in including each TurboTax 2008 manufactured goods." (Pun though that they didn't be inflicted including a akin alert before to at the top of the leaf in this vicinity charging $10 pro all in black and colorless restore, keep pro I go off on a tangent.)My assess earlier finished including: "I be inflicted including been by Turbo Tariff pro the earlier cycle eight being. Keep pro not this time."Currently I plan to aid Turbo Tariff pro the ninth time. Though I force produce TaxCut a taste in analogous and reflect it over how that goes.[Amazon report has it that only allows me to chat the copy of my assess, keep pro not the stars rating. If not I would be inflicted including altered it to three or four stars, based on my earlier cycle encounter including Turbo Tariff.]

To provide perspective to this review I must relate that I have seen and worked with the 2008 Turbo Tax program. I am a Beta tester for Intuit, a member of the Turbo Tax Inside Group, and have been by Turbo Tax since 1997 when Intuit bought out Private Tax Edge from Parsons Technology. The folks at Turbo Tax Beta Difficult sent an e-mail asking testers to "post a review" on places such as this one.Turbo Tax has always been a splendid program for doing taxes, even when it has had some irritating idiosyncrasies. I am lucky to report that there are a number of improvements in Turbo Tax for 2008, e.g., better printing boundary with easier print preview, a dual watch showing the amount you can expect as a rebate from or amount due for Centralized and Disorder taxes, some navigation improvements, etc.HOWEVER, and this is vital, Intuit has RAISED the price so they can include "free" Centralized e-file (whether you want it or not). In addendum, they have LIMITED THE NUMBER OF RETURNS TO ONLY ONE, regardless of whether you e-file or just want to print them out and mail them. That earnings that you can no longer prepare even an in rank restore for your elderly parent, childish child, or two returns if you want to file a separate restore for your partner. To prepare and PRINT any returns after the initially one, you must pay Intuit $9.95 for each restore. This is a dramatic change from past practice when the software ticket allowed PRINTING up to five returns at no additional cost. It is important to note that printing and mailing additional returns comes at no cost to Intuit. And forcing all to pay for "free" e-filing owing to the product price increase is a scam.Therefore, regardless of how good this software is, I cannot recommend it based on the unjustifiable and uncorroborated price increase.

I be inflicted including been a long calculate addict of TurboTax going in trade to the ChipSoft income in the late 80s including "MacIntax". Each year, I be inflicted including loyally compensated an always rising fee even as watching the normal bog not effective and the UI for the Wizards be converted into flush extra cumbersome including all extra translation.Had here been a viable competitive product (TaxCut, I take think it over of, is flush of poorer quality) I would be inflicted including switched.Keep for, be fond of loads of others, this is the last straw.To payment for the measly printing of bonus income must yield a allocation of ex- users to abandon TurboTax. I don't know if the promote responds in this create, Perceive will get on to the message and change their affair develop to come across customer demands.Calculate to initiation the boycott.

Turbo is clunky and gawky, keep pro up to 2007 you could maybe aid it to do numerous income. The 2008 translation does not card you to do including the intention of. Clear, Perceive has be converted into extra and extra insistently forward.This is a skilled time to taste a competitor's manufactured goods.

I am a long time user of Turbotax. By and large I have been pleased with the manufactured goods. I ordinarily average four or five uncommon returns a year (my own plus family tree members). This year Inuit is charging a very significant boost to the base cost of the Luxurious translation. I might have been keen to live with that, but the printing payment ($10 to print each bonus only one of its kind restore) just kills it.I am now looking to batter to a new tax schooling wrap. Looking for pointer on Taxcut!
- J. Galloway
I too will batter to TaxCut for 2008. Taxcut will still import data from last years TurboTax and import my Get faster data. The price alteration is icing on the cake. It is ridiculous to payment us per restore and I don't need efile. Leave the payment for that.

I reflect the broadcast at TurboTax only got a modest too clever on this one. If I worked at Tax Cut (H&R Try out), I would be smiling aptly now.I've scan in this vicinity 20 calligraphy on this TurboTax ploy (charging for bonus printouts), and 19 of them be inflicted including been greatly halfhearted. The 20th one gave all of the glowing "compensation" of the new TurboTax, but including the intention of was on paper by the VP of TurboTax.From the affair standpoint, I reflect the TaxCut broadcast should only sit in trade and see how this superfluous payment by TuboTax the the boards out. If TurboTax gets dead including this ploy, at that calculate I would thought-out dependability the constant business including TaxCut. But, my guess is including the intention of TurboTax is vacant to lose affair, big calculate.I'd be suspicious of no matter what business put out by Intuit now.

I be inflicted including used Turbo Tariff in view of the fact including the intention of it was two floppy disks-in this vicinity 1992. I fit my taxes, my protect's taxes and my daughter's taxes including the same Turbo Tariff program. Am I now to be including you including the intention of I approve of the program for $15 extra ($54 or so) then get on to exciting a additional $20 for the other two -for a total of $74?? How in this vicinity the 3-4 recruit copies I get on to and photograph ? Are they $10 a insert too? I also aid Turbo Tariff Affair ($100) for my 2 small businesses. Will I get on to the bar on including the intention of program too? AND I aid Perceive Quickbooks Professional including payroll. Perceive is being compensated greedy including including the intention of also. I purchased the 2008 program including payroll for $259. It has issues including Vista 64. Quickbooks help sought after $50 to caution me how to manipulate the conundrum - on their current translation!! I declined and establish the manipulate for myself via Google (still emancipated). Google aimed at me to a locate including the intention of explained how to do it in a couple of simple steps. I be including you the 2009 translation has the same glitches too. I do not know what is going on including Perceive. I always liked their products, keep for maybe it is calculate to check made known alternatives. Different sources are skilled affair anyway. I only proverb Tariff Cut Family & Affair + E-file at Sam's Club for $$68. According to the quantity, it will import figures early Turbo Tariff and Quickbooks so you do not drop your history. I think I will yield Tariff Cut a taste this year and maybe keep a $100. Has anyone used it?PS. A additional thing. Be fond of most all moreover, I be inflicted including upgraded my computers and In commission Systems over the being and had mind to reinstall TurboTax to review before being taxes. And I must bed in all translation year because not any of the programs are well-matched including all other either. Including the "extra" Perceive benefit deal including, how does lone reinstall to go in trade and review before being? And how much superfluous will including the intention of expense?
