Review by Admiralu

I’ve been using TurboTax for over ten years and have tried both the web version and disc product. I prefer the disc product since new versions will read the information from prior editions and automatically import them after installation. The 2011 edition was the fastest install ever. Even the updates did not take that long. I had a state download for CA that was also quick and streamlined. I was able to have my W-2 information imported (a real time saver, love that option) and the step by step screens were easier than ever to walk through. Printing and saving was also quite fast along with the federal e-file. It took barely a day to be submitted and accepted (this was in late Feb). State e-file was offered for an additional $19.95 which I didn’t bother with. Unfortunately I don’t get refunds. TurboTax is a solid product. I think the disc version is better than the online since the installation will read the previous version information and saves you a lot of time, especially if you continue to use the product as long as I have. I would not consider another tax product. It is so easy to revisit options or jump around to different sections. After you do your taxes you may also be offered an opportunity to join the TurboTax panel and give input about your experiences and help improve the product. This is a worthwhile option if you would like your voice to be heard.
