- TurboTax State download
- I was able to download the State return for free, although it is not intuitive (no pun intended). You must start a return, and then the "Online" selection appears at the top. Select "Download State" under "Online". It will walk you through your state selection and ask you to pay for a state return. Look closely and you will see a hyperlink which says something like "I have already purchased this". You will then go to a form with a place to fill in the order number and confirmation number - but I didn't have either! There also is a telephone number 1-800-325-1558. You have to call the number go to Sales and give the person the serial number which also appears on the screen. The salesperson will give you the order number and confirmation number (provided you have purchased Deluxe or Premier). And you thought taxes were hard!!
I have not used any of the software yet, so I am giving it 3 stars because of the lack of user friendliness on this feature. - 2006-02-15, 4 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- dont trust this software..
ive known people that have used this and they have been cheated out of extra refund money..or still oweing money all together..its better to have a professional accountant do the taxes the right way..not this fly by night garbadge ..and, did you notice there is always a new version of this tax software every single year meaning you have to buy the updated version..its not worth it..see a accountant and get it done right the first time - 2006-02-05, 2 of 25 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- TurboTax UNDER-ESTIMATED my refunds by $2700 over 2 years
- For the past five years I have used TurboTax on-line to prepare our taxes. Last year, after filing our taxes, the IRS sent me a letter informing me that I was eligible for an additional refund credit. After refiguring our taxes by hand I found $1,700 in two credits that TurboTax failed to identify. I was able to receive $1,400 of this amount, but the other $300 would have required refilling from scratch (changing the number of dependants).
This week, after looking over previous tax years, I now find that there was an additional $1,009 credit on our 2002 taxes that TurboTax did not find.
I can no longer trust TurboTax to manage my taxes. These were simple Earned Income Credits (EIC) and Child Tax Credits (CTC), which TurboTax should have never missed. How can a company release tax software that does not double-check these items when there are child dependants clearly listed? It is inexcusable.
Now, they no longer offer the $14.95 e-file refund? I recommend RUNNING from this Intuit TurboTax product. We will be using TaxCut instead. - 2006-01-18, 13 of 20 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- don't make me laugh
- So Intuit is at it again huh? After last year's debacle I would think that they would hang up trying to make tax software. If you read my review for TT 2004, you will see that it was full of bugs and mis-calculations which contradicted IRS rules.
Then the VP chimed in with his assumption that all of us were wrong and that the TT software was just perfect. umm wrong try again!
If you have anything other than a VERY basic tax return, I would HIGHLY recommend using TaxCut instead. TurboTax will get you audited on complicated returns.
Don't waste your money. If you want tax software use TaxCut.
Not recommended at all. - 2006-01-15, 13 of 24 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- State NOT included
- The description for this item erroneously states that it "Includes one FREE 1040 Electronic Filing, a FREE TurboTax State download". I can find no reference to it on the actual product.
If you need the State version, be sure to get "TurboTax Total Tax Solution Premier 2005 with State".
If you have used TurboTax in the past, also be prepared for another major change to the interface. It's not bad, but some things, such as the hybrid vehicle deduction, are hard to find and can easily be overlooked if you aren't already aware of them. - 2006-01-01, 17 of 22 people found this review helpful, Rated:
