DO NOT BUY THIS, TRUST ME!
Turbo Tax really is not a very good product. You are just better off paying someone to do your taxes or if you have a really simple one, just do it yourself. Also, there are so many places online that are free. The deluxe version is complete BS, it doesn't give you anything extra, you still have to download your files just like with the cheaper versions. The customer service for this company is TERRIBLE.I was charged three times on my debit card for e-filing. It took me three different phones calls, during my work hours, and being on hold for 20-30 minutes to get it straight. (All this while talking to a rude person who barely understands me and I can barely understand him).Plus, the extra $60 they had charged me erroneously caused other transactions to bounce and I was charged insufficient funds charges from my bank. That was another phone call during my lunch to fix something.

Pleasant Surprise - Efiling is Free!
I've used TurboTax for some time and always wondered about the prices I was paying.As I sat down and calculated the total, though, I realized I had forgotten the value of Efile.With this product, I do pay for efile up front -- but then get my money back with the rebate.It's worth it-not really as expensive as it seems at first evaluation!

Worked just fine for me after January
I've read several reviews that state TurboTax doesn't:

I don't even think a "FOR DUMMIES" book could help me with this
I've been around my share of software in my time, both on Mac and PCs.But I have never, ever experienced such a user-UNFRIENDLY bit of software as Peachtree Complete Accounting.Navigation is not at all straightforward, actually there is nothing about Peachtree that is remotely straighforward!Even attempting to register the product was a nightmare.
Software ok, support is horrible
This program is very inflexible and rigid.On board Help files are very limited and I've never dealt with another company who seems to care less about supporting their product as you can tell just by trying to find out where to write or call.Unless you're paying the bucks for a support plan, you're toast.However, given the price of the software, which is expensive, you'd think some consideration would be given to users.If I ran my company the same way Peachtree support is managed, I'd be bankrupt.

Easy to use
We've been using Peachtree software for years and it has served our needs. The software is very easy to use. Much better than Quickbooks. The new text auto-complete feature saves a lot of time for data entry. Make sure you get the "Complete" version, not the regular Peachtree 2006 because the Complete version has many useful features not found in the regular version. ... Read more

Decline of Quicken
Ditto to this review:
Horrible Customer Service
It's a decent product, but there are others out there that are as good or better, and cheaper.
Do not buy if you want to write checks with it
I have used quicken for years. I bought a new computer and got an upgrade(at least I thought so) with it. It is not user friendly. I tried to use the check writing part. You have to order checks through Intuit with your name address and bank numbers on them. The only thing you can do is put the amount who it is to and a check number on it. What is the use if you cannot print the whole check with a blank form. What a waste this is! I am throwing mine away and getting something else. I would not recomend this to my worst enemy! ...

Great features as always be prepared to spend extra $$$
Quickbooks since version 1 has been very friendly and easy to use. each upgrade seem to take up more room and more computing power.Thank to the low cost of computer now days. that shoul not be a problem if you are on a hardware upgrade schedule.
Quickbooks 2006
The software is very user friendly but confusing when it comes to memorizing an invoice for the next billing cycle.Creates and duplicate invoice and changes the date to 3-4 months ahead.Other than that I am very pleased with Quickbooks.

TurboTax Spyware
In response to questions regarding TurboTax & Spyware. Turbo Tax Basic?Not!
When I purchased Turbo Tax software basic, I had tried Turbo Tax before in the previous couple of tax sessions.When I first started out, I could definitely tell the difference from doing the job by hand.I received more money back from my return than I would have done so by hand using the state's 1040EZ form.The program went well the first couple of years.Suddenly, this previous year, after a purchase from Wal-Mart I began to have problems:
Not all tax programs are equal

Worthless for complicated tax forms
TaxCut did not warn me that I needed to fill out additional forms required for taking the exemption for a qualified child, nor did it lead me through the Schedule C like TurboTax does. TurboTax may be more expensive, but it's well worth it to save the headaches that this program caused. If you have complicated tax forms or unusual tax situations (or prefer an intuitive program, rather than something that makes you say "What am I supposed to do next???") stick with TurboTax.

If TaxCut Installation stalls at 21% installed
TaxCut's website (their telephone customer service was non-existent on this date - hung-up on me twice without every getting a person)is not helpful with this problem. While telephone customer service might be expected to be inundated with calls on the last day for filing - you'd think installation problems would be thorougly documented by the end of tax season for PC's running Windows XP.NOT the case.And if you're encountering this on the last day, try rebooting your Windows XP system, pressing F8 while it's booting to restart in Safe Mode with Networking Option and then proceed with the install.I found this tip on another site and it worked for me.The font and Flash upgrades mentioned with this problem in other threads hear on Amazon - didn't help me.
Taxcut bug
This program has a bug in processing 1099-R data that makes the whole software package useless to me.After filling in the data from my 2005 1099-R form, the program informed me that these monies were taxable in 2003 not 2005, and that these data would not be included in my 2005 return.I could not find a way overide this problem. Also, there was no apparent way to directly contact H&R Block to find out how to fix it.After wasting a couple of hours I now have to trash the taxcut software and spend more money to purchase turbo-tax, which from prior years experience is relatively bug free. ...

Excelente
He venido usando el programa desde 1997 en su versi�n en espa�ol, lamento que Microsoft no haya realizado nuevas versiones en dicho idioma. Esta versi�n es increible ya que brinda todas la herramientas para el control de gastos, presupuesto y todo tipo de acciones para un mejor control del dinero familiar y de un peque�o negocio como el mio.

BUGS !! BEWARE!! or get a full refund...
this goes on from Money 2003 into 2004 and will probably be there 10 years from now I hate this version!!!
I have been using Microsoft Money for many years and been pleased. I made the biggest mistake by upgrading to 2003. I had never bounced a check until now. It's register keeping is very confusing. It enters the electronic payments with a date of several days before it is due and it is very hard to tell how much money you actually have in the bank without calling and verifying with the bank. I am seriously considering switching to another software such as Quicken, since I can't go back to the previous version of Money. ... Read more

Where are my entries?
I wrote ckecks that have dissapeared from the check register. After reading the previous reviews of this program, I can understand why.

slooooow
I have been a loyal Quicken user, but this product has been a disaster. I have plenty of memory, according to its requirements, but that doesn't seem to matter. The program is achingly slow. A previous reviewer wrote that it takes three seconds for a pull-down menu to appear. I wish! It takes 15 to 20 seconds for me. Imagine how long it takes when I try to do something more complicated. Also, many of the new features are not intuitive. I've had enough frustration to switch back to try to switch back to an earlier version of Quicken--or to Microsoft Money.

QuickBooks User..
I have used QuickBooks since 1995 and find that people who are writing negative comments aren't really talking about the product BUT rather how phenomenally cheap they are.
Exactly what I ordered
Received product less than a week after ordering. Excellent condition as advertized. I would recommend this seller to other buyers.

I'd rather deal with Tony Soprano
I don't have a problem with the way Quickbooks works, but paying [$$] a year for the tax tables is pure (...). When I was forced to upgrade to QB Pro 2003 it at least came with the payroll tax tables for the year. This year if I wanted to upgrade to QB 2005 they wanted [$$] for the upgrade and [$$] additional for the tax tables. Every year they come up with a clever new way to cheat their customers out of their money.

Dissapointing
I have been using quicken for about three years now, and I recently upgraded to 2001.So far, I'm not impressed.Although Quicken's checkbook entry system is outstanding, most of the other features suffer from numerous drawbacks.The Tax Advisor is cumbersome to work with and has known problems with displaying information on the screen.As far as I can tell, Quicken also offers no updates once the tax year changes (other than forking over another 40 bucks or so for the 2002 edition), making the Advisor absolutly useless for planning your taxes beyond one year.The budget planning and debt reduction tools are not user-friendly and too simplistic to apply to real-world situations.Stock quote updates occasionally download invalid quotes (negative numbers, massive gains/losses, etc).The car price lookup service has no information on my 18 month old car, and the home price lookup is equally useless for the other 150 million of us who live in rural areas.Quicken is also a memory hog, and I've watched it continue to slow and bog down my system over time.The engineers better wake up and realize that as users enter more data over periods spanning years, the program must be streamlined to handle the increases in data.Come on, Intuit, this is a program for those of us who want to improve and learn about how our finances work.The 'massses' don't buy your product (most are oblivious to these things and like to stay that way), that's why we have AOL.So stop treating us like a mass market with all the ads.If this gets any worse, I'll be looking elsewhere for financial software.

Great way to organize
I upgrade every year and this version wasn't a disappointment.The ability to track all aspects of my financial life has always been a focus, but this version is now helping me with the immediate future.Tracking bills, payments and deposits has never been easier and it is giving me more vision into what my family can and cannot do financially....

Why are we paying the same price to download?
I ordered and downloaded this version of quicken and discovered that all the multimedia parts are not included!! Had I known this, I would have ordered the real product with cd-rom instead. We can't use the self help movies because of the missing cd-rom disk. The rest of the program works fine, but I felt that the description of the download would state that certain files are not included. I would also like to see a price break as well. sprovost ...

Quick'n the Bin
A very poor product destined for the bin... I do not recommend it...

"Quit" bug in Macintosh 2006 and 2007
With the release of Macintosh 2006, a bug appeared in the key-stroke combination for "Quit."Frankly, it wouldn't quit unless the menu bar was used.I reported this to Quicken, but to no avail.It was not even acknowledged, so I accepted it.It will quit sporadically, but it appears to act as it should for at least a cycle after a check register entry.

It's not Quickens fault!
[02/21/1999] A federal judge in Texas has moved to out law Quicken Family Lawyer, a legal software program. The reason. It was too helpful. Judge Barefoot Sanders determined that by helping people fill our their legal documents, the program treads illegally on lawyers' turf. Specifically, it violates law that bar anyone but licensed lawyers from giving legal advise. The case was brought by a lawyers' group, whose interest is clear enough. Lawyers typically charge anywhere from $100 to $650 an hour. Quicken costs $29.95 for life.
I Am Disappointed
I just purchased Quicken Home and Small Business Legal Suite 2003.I am surprised that the software is no longer supported and that no updates are available.I am also surprised that there is not a residential lease document.There was a residential lease document in Quicken Business Lawyer 2000.

Petrified of taxes--TurboTax helped me through
This last year was my first year of filing taxes for a rental, a sole-proprietorship, and the various small jobs I'd held, plus my husband's new job.It was a potential nightmare and I spent several restless nights thinking about it.Under recommendations from a bookkeeper friend, I bought TurboTax.It was great and I was able to get a significant return, which made the time it took to work through the sessions more than worth it.I finished my taxes in about four days, and for anyone with several PT jobs or potential complications, I'd recommend setting aside a couple hours a day--TT allows you to stop any session at any point and save the data, which lets you go back and proofread or reenter data as you wish.I could have finished my taxes without TT, but I highly doubt I would have saved much.TT's deduction questionaires.I can't compare it to earlier versions, since this is my first year using it, but I was very pleased and I think that if you have several different sources of income, TT really helps you organize.In terms of user-friendliness, I think it was fairly straightforward.I used the Help menu a lot and was able to turn on and off the questionaire when I wanted to.If you are new to taxes or TT, then I'd recommend working through it over a period of a week or so, just to verify all your information and think about possible deductions that you might be missing.Because of TT, I am now organizing all my receipts for my businesses in the categories that it suggested for deductions and feel fairly confident about next year's tax season.

Intuit Customer Support Lacking
Received TurboTax Premier disc from Amazon.During installation, kept getting different installation errors.Intuit website posted SEVERAL options as work-arounds.Spent too much time trying to fix what ended up being a defective disc.On-line chat w/ Intuit rep was frustrating, at best.Intuit would not ship replacment disc direct since Amazon is not an "authorized" seller.Amazon shipped replacement disc (took too many days, Amazon).

A little tricky
You can do a great deal with this software--some of it obviously useful, some of it less so--and there are clear, succinct explanations of legal issues involved in the decisions you have to make.Moving in and out of your existing documents is tricky, though; there aren't automatic prompts to save, and it would be easy to accidentally save over an existing document.It can be hard to get back into saved documents from the document list, too.

Great Money Saving Tool
Great program! Well worth the money. Compare the cost of the program to the cost of an attorney, and it's a no brainer. The program walks you, in an interview fashion, through the process by asking the necessary questions, and 15-20 minutes later you have your legal document. Satisfied Customer.

Safe, State-specific, and cheap compared to an Attorney

support
The support of this product is very poor. The first question from the company is about the customer's credit card number even if the product was just bought and it does not do what is described in the manual. I was trying to point out the problem with the program and the standard answer was: "Our product is flawless; the problem is with you". I am familiar with financial programs and accounting but after trying to use the program for two weeks I gave up and decided to return it.

Perfect for home based consulting business
I have a simple home-based consulting business with 2 employees and a small number of customers. Quicken Home & Business is the perfect accounting system for me. I was a financial officer for several companies and have used several high end systems. This is the easiest and most efficient accounting system ever made - an excellent product. If it covers your needs, you should consider yourself lucky. I wish that I read the reviews first
I tried to install this program a couple of days ago and was prompted to uninstall the previous version (Quicken 2002 Deluxe). I chose to do so. At the end of the installation process, I got the error message "Your program files may have been damaged. You will need to reinstall Quicken." I uninstalled using Add/Remove Programs and reinstalled with exactly the same result. Read more
