State is free with download or boxed product, extra with On-Line

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2009

Update - The price has went up to $77 since I purchased mine, but it is still a great deal and about the same price I paid for last year's version. All the folks that say it does not include 5 free state returns are just wrong, or they work for the competition. My copy loaded fast from the CD, it automatically imported both last year's Turbo Tax and It's Deductable, saving a lot of typing. The application runs fast and has the same intuitive interface as last year. It does have the glitch that it says the state costs $34.95 when you click to download, but it actually downloads free. I'm completely satisfied and would recommend it to anyone.

The TurboTax Home & Business Federal + State+ eFile CD:
TurboTax Home & Business Federal + State + eFile 2008
or download:
TurboTax Home & Business Federal + State + eFile 2008 [DOWNLOAD ]
includes Federal and state (one state free) with unlimited Federal returns & five free Federal eFiles plus 5 free returns for one state, but $19.95 per state efile.

Whoever said the TurboTax State cost $34.95 was apparently talking about the TurboTax "Online" State software which has to be purchased for $34.95 in addition to TurboTax "Online" Federal software which sells for $74.95

If you buy the CD or download, instead of buying the "Online" version, the state is free for 5 folk's returns (plus $19.95 efile each).

So bottom line is Amazon charges $70.99 for the download, or $71.99 for the CD (w/free shipping); federal eFile is free with both, you can print your state forms and mail, or you can eFile for an additional $19.95 each.

Still a good deal for a great product and you can even deduct the price of the software and the efile.

Worked okay. State is free.

One state download is free. The program is very confusing when it tells you that you commit to pay $ 39.95 for the first state download. Since other reviewers said it was free, I went ahead and agreed. They don't ask for a credit card at the time of the download, so you know it must be free. It was. Otherwise, glitch free. My yearly complaint is that I would like to have instant access to an alternate screen, that shows the 1040 form filled in. Confusing to get to. My total after purchase cost for e-filing was $ 19.95 for state e-file.

I kept looking for the $ 1,000 property tax deduction, available this year when filing a standard deduction. I never saw it anywhere, but noticed that the program added $ 1,000 to the standard deduction. Would it have done that if I didn't put in my property taxes, on the schedule A line? I have been a yearly Turbo Tax filer. Will continue this practice.

TURBO TAX 2008 GRRREAT!

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2009

I had used Turbo Tax for the first time in 2007 on my daughter's recommendation. Liked it then but loved this 2008 home & business version. They make it so easy even a....Well, you know the rest. (Sorry, Cavemen!)Easy installation via CD (and I am always nervous about installation as I am not a computer whiz by any means.) They walk you through all aspects of your federal form by asking simple questions. As you answer, your form is filled in to include any special schedules you need to file. TT does a final check for possible errors, lets you know what they are ,and allows you to correct them (again by asking simple questions.)You can stop when you are tired, save the file, close the computer ,and go back to the very place you left off. TT prints your forms, e-files,even giving you likely refund dates. State form done with same program. Information imported from Fed form. Can e-file state with charge of $19.95 or print and mail it in for $0.00. Have I mentioned the support? 5 stars from me all the way around.

You can get it done with Turbo Tax, but search for what you might miss

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2009

Turbo Tax does get the job done, from home, conveniently. Watch it like a hawk, though, as it is very easy to wind up missing some obvious deductions. For instance, after entering business income, I went on to what I thought was the next step and somehow was never prompted to enter business expenses. I realized this when TurboTax wanted to proceed to review and filing. Instead went to the forms list, found the business income section, re-entered it, chose edit, and then could do the expenses. All's well that ends well.

Last year, I wound up overpaying taxes with TurboTax because I somehow missed entering the state sales tax deduction. (I'm in Texas and we have no income tax, so we can do sales tax as an alternative.) TurboTax should have flagged that omission in its review, as surely everybody itemizing would want to claim state taxes. But it didn't and I did not catch it until after I filed. So I had to file a supplementary form to get back my tax overpayment.

In short, Turbo tax can get your taxes done pretty easily, but with more monitoring from you than you might expect. Be aware.
