Comment on TurboTax Deluxe Federal + E-file + State 2011 for Mac [Download] by kentsum.
Still great — easy to download and use,
I highly recommend 1) TurboTax – 2) Bought from Amazon – 3) Using the download version.
This is my second year to use TurboTax. It’s so easy. They walk you through the process, asking simple, clear questions. All you must do is have your W2’s and other documentation ready to answer the questions. You can stop whenever you wish, and come back later. You can go back and redo each section as often as you wish. You can see how much your return will be from Fed and State – at any time, based upon the info you’ve entered thus far. And e-filing is quick and easy (or at least, it was last year; haven’t yet taken that step.)
The download-installation-update process worked flawlessly. I use Mac OS 10.6.8. I chose to download from Amazon, because I know I can always return to Amazon and re-download TurboTax if something happens to my computer. Also, I didn’t have to wait for a CD to arrive. And I’m still not eager to use the cloud/web version which keeps everything on the TurboTax server instead of on my own computer. (Yeah, I know that Big Brother — “they” — already know about and see everything we do. I just feel better making it a fraction more difficult for them.)
There may be other good products out there, but I’m sticking with what I know works well: TurboTax.
