Fed Taxes 2006
I specifically bought Turbo Tax Premier because of stocks sales/purchases we made in 2006. The section on stock income was confusing and it took me several times to figure out what information Turbo Tax wanted where. When I thought I had it figured out and finished that section, I thought I would repeat it to make sure I did it right. To my surprise, the second time I entered the information I received a different total than the first time. So I did it a third time. The third time matched the second, so I figured it must be right. Then when I got to the section for error checking, I was told I had errors in my stock sales. So I did it a forth time, which came out the same as the second and third time. This time it passed the error checking, but instead of showing that we had purchased the stocks, Turbo Tax showed we had "inherited" the stocks. I could not get Turbo Tax to change, so I printed out the form scratched out "inherited" and put in the date of purchase. I would rather do my taxes by hand than use Turbo Tax again.

Very thorough process.
I chose Premier having used Deluxe in the past. Gave me a more indepth interview process in considering deductions and investment issues. Probably more than I needed, but I think it is appropriate for those with more investments than me. While it takes longer I enjoy visiting all the subjects. It is very informative.

Turbo Tax - A disappointment
I have been using Turbo Tax for years just as I jave used Quicken for years. One of the big plusses for me was It's Deductible, a program that places values on items you give to charities and imports directly into Turbo Tax.
It's Deductible was a stand alone program until 2006 when it went to Intuit for online entries. You could not longer buy the program to install on your PC. This would have been OK but then Intuit would not allow you to see the values placed on donations until you purchased Turbo Tax. Intuit thinking of the bottom line rather than the customer. I hated that and told Intuit my feelings - no response as I expected. But what the heck, I entered my donations through 2006 and when Turbo Tax 2006 came out I purchased it from Amazon for a good price.
After installing Turbo Tax I went to see what my donation values were and to import the values into Turbo Tax from my online entries. Nope - No can do. Not only was It's Deductible buried in Turbo Tax with a very clunky and slow link to start the program but there was absolutely no way to import. After much searching on Intuit's support pages - always a chore - I finally found a page explaining - no import. But if you like you can get a voucher to unlock the online values and then manually re enter the information into Turbo Tax! What a crock. On top of that using It's Deductible and Turbo Tax slows my duo core PC to a crawl. I will look elsewhere next year.
