No More Lost Opportunities
Deluxe Deduction Maximizer shows you how to qualify for over 350 deductions, from mortgage interest, to child-care expenses and more, so you don't miss important deductions that could have a significant impact on your return. As you move through the deduction process, this program looks for deduction opportunities, shows you which deductions you've already taken, which you haven't, and which you're not yet eligible to take. The end result is a comprehensive tally showing how much you've saved in deductions as well as the impact on your refund or bottom line.

Life Events Planner
This program now features software that guides you through common life events — like buying a new home, taking on new dependents, marriage or divorce — and shows how future life changes will affect next year's taxes. By giving you a glimpse of what's to come, you can optimize your present and future tax situation.

Time-Saving Options
Deluxe Deduction Maximizer is loaded with time-saving features that help you to quickly and easily file your taxes without making mistakes or cheating yourself out of key deductions. First, this program lets you transfer and edit information from your last year's TurboTax return so you don't have to enter it again. Then, when it comes time to make changes, you can take advantage of the summary pages at the end of each section — they make it a snap to find and edit data you've previously entered. Save even more time by quickly jumping to sections of your return using a clickable tax topic list.

Nothing wastes time more than an exhaustive audit, and that's why Deluxe Deduction Maximizer flags items the IRS might question so you can take care of potential problems before you file. At the same time, this program compares your deductions to national averages for your income bracket so you can quickly see if your deductions fall outside the norm. This prevents future headaches while also potentially saving you money.

Fast, Guaranteed Results
Because it's so thorough and easy to use, Deluxe Deduction Maximizer can help deliver the fastest refund possible. For even speedier results, e-file your return and get your money back in as little as 10 days (fees apply). This program also comes with TurboTax's guarantee that you'll get the maximum refund you're entitled to with TurboTax than with any other tax preparation method or they'll refund you every penny of your purchase price.

BEWARE OF USED SOFTWARE: I WAS SOLD USED SOFTWARE THAT WILL NOT ADD UPDATES, COMPUTE STATE RETURNS, OR ALLOW PRINTING. More reviews

Worth the money: If you keep good accounting records and have the patients to follow all the steps, this is a very worthwhile program. The only cons are that you can't update each year - You have to buy the new version, and e-filing is extra. Although, my federal refund came in a very short time so the extra charge was worth it for me.… More reviews

TurboTax is a Rip Off: My fiancee is a contracted employee and has to file 1099s and a schedule C every year and has struggled to finish his taxes on his own for the past few years using online services that merely charge $1-$10 to e-file for him. Overall, his taxes are simple and don't need a whole lot of help with preparation but he thought he would… More reviews

Not worth the headache, do it by hand is easier: Every year I go out and by Turbo Tax for the convenience and that I can down load the information with ease from my quicken program. This is a big plus in the programming and it's only benefit. But I always wind up doing it by hand anyway.
In years past, turbo tax was issued and then a follow up final issue with… More reviews

it wont work: downloaded the program properly without any problems indicated but when I try to start the program I get the error window asking if I want to send the error to microsoft with no further guidance on which way to correct the problem.

Frustrated! I want a refund.… More reviews
