TTax2013 is solid and fast as were the prior tax-year versions. Thankfully you can usually pick it up at a discounted price ($50 -vs- $60) at Amazon earlier than from other sellers (Intuit is usually the LAST one to offer a price-break), I have only bought TTax on CD over the years (not digital download) so that I have the disc just in case I might need to re-install at some future (like IF the TaxMan were to come a’knockin’, God forbid). Point being I can’t comment on the Download approach.nMy only gripe with Intuit (not this package, per se) is the $40 gouge price for an additional State. At thathigh price, it’s got to be a super-high margin item for Intuit’s bottom line.

Off-topic slightly, I do wish that Intuit would:n - Make TTax available for Linux operating systems (likely won’t happen though, given that TTax & Quicken both rely on Microsoft Windows’ .Net framework;n - Make a TurboTax- style program for preparing and filing Federal Estate, Gift, and Trust returns. (Maybe they will. should considering the aging Baby Boomer demographics).
