Review by Nicholas Wilson

For over 10 years I used TurboTax Deluxe for my personal and small business federal and state tax returns. This year Intuit makes you buy this much costlier version because they took the Schedule C and Depreciation functions out of TT Deluxe. This was a PR disaster for them, so they are offering a $25 refund if you used to use TT Deluxe and had to upgrade to TT Home and Business or Premier this year. The only catch is that you must file your federal return by April 20 or no refund. More motivation to file on time. I’ve always been comfortable using TurboTax to figure my taxes. For a small extra charge they offer audit insurance too. I took off 2 stars for TT forcing us to use this more costly version.
