Pros: Easy to use; offers safeguards to double-check for potential errors, expedient
Cons: Too many sales pitches incorporated into program; more expensive than simply doing it yourself
Summary: Intuit®'s TurboTax® deluxe 2002 allows you to quickly and easily prepare your federal income tax return. Initially, the main screen may seem a bit bewildering, with its myriad menu selections and links, but you will soon discover that although quite ... read more

Pros: User-friendly
Cons: Installs spyware
Summary: I want to concentrate only on one issue with Turbo Tax, because it seems more important for me than any other.

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: May not be worth it for easy or difficult returns
Summary: My mother started using Turbo Tax a few years ago. The fact that it costs around $40 was what made the program most attractive. The program was very easy to use, which is what has kept her coming back. Here’s how it works:

Pros: Pretty packaging
Cons: Inability to Import from TaxCut 2001, Terrible Tech Support, Restrictive Licensing
Summary: OK - I read lots of blather on TaxCut's draconian copyright system (courtesy of MacroVision - the same folks that provided degraded video noise to owners of tapes/DVDs so they cannot copy them), but decided since I only wanted to run it on one PC and saw ... read more

Pros: Does a great job preparing tax forms. Very user friendly. Packed with information. Never crashes.
Cons: Traps loyal customers to overpay for the software.
Summary: How it works
I have been using TurboTax for several years. It really is a time saver.
The software guides you with a lot of questions and fills the tax form with the data you provide. All you need is the W-2s, the 1099s and ... read more

Pros: Still useable for straightforward returns.
Cons: Activation procedures make it unuseable for many. Asked me to do calculations.
Summary: Much has been said about Intuit's new activation procedures for their software. Intuit has endured a great deal of criticism regarding this year's implementation of their copy-protection scheme. Much of it is deserved.

Pros: A great product in past years.
Cons: New product activation mechanism failures prevent you from using.
Summary: I've used TurboTax Deluxe for the past 4 years and would have gladly used it this year as well, if Intuit would only let me.
Seems they have added a new activation mechanism to the product that requires you to go online or call a 1-800 ... read more

Pros: Easy filing of your tax returns. State software rebate.
Cons: none
Summary: Until 2 years ago I had never done my taxes myself. My husband and I used TurboTax Deluxe then and I can now do this alone! I am reviewing this year's TurboTax Deluxe 2002. This is being reviewed as a layperson. I am a Social Worker and the last thing ... read more

Pros: If you used it in the past and also Quicken, it's easy to import data
Cons: Terrible support with no pride of ownership of the product.
Summary: I am a 5 year user of the product. Initially I could not install the software as we were considering a new home computer and the new ID based licensing would have forced us to buy another copy! Argh. They have since relaxed the policy, but only after ... read more

Pros: Historically, has been the best tax program on the market.
Cons: Product activation makes product unusable.
Summary: While TurboTax had done a great job with my taxes, I had always been annoyed by Intuit's marketing. In the fall, they'd start trying to sell me the deluxe versions of TurboTax at inflated prices via e-mail and the phone. So last year, I tried the ... read more

Pros: All pros now cancelled by cons
Cons: Product activation, no more free state return, less tax help
Summary: I have used Turbotax for the past 4 or 5 years. Each year, the program improved, and made the pain of preparing tax returns much easier. This year, I had heard of some problems that people had because of the "product activation" that Turbotax added, ... read more

Pros: Ease of Use, even for someone as green as I was. Makes E-filing a breeze
Cons: Too many attempts to sell other Intuit products imbedded in software.
Summary: After many years,(27), of marriage and home ownership, I finally decided to take the plunge and attempt to do my taxes myself this year with a little help from Turbo-Tax. After paying a tax specialist $115 last year to end up paying over $5000 to Uncle ... read more

For eight years I have been preparing my taxes by alternating between both TurboTax and Taxcut. My wife and I file jointly and she always preferred Taxcut for its ease of use. I, having used both ... read more

Pros: Top notch tax program
Cons: Flawed Activation a huge hassle for honest customers
Summary: Flawed implementation for Activation: - Runs C_Dilla in the background all the time (even when you're not using TT)
- Writes activation data to a secret 'unused' area of the hard drive (what if some other misbehaving program happened to use that ... read more

Pros: Streamlined Q/A interface, Interactive Forms, Flexible, Good Tax Information
Cons: EXPENSIVE!, Single Computer License only, Full of marketing links
Summary: Here I am, usually very easy going with taxes, as forms with the -EZ modifier were my choice. Little effort with little return seemed to be my motto. Until one has to consider more that himself. Namely, "Getting Married" posed new tax obstacles. How ... read more
