Download from Amazon – – – the TurboTax bugs are Gone,
I just downloaded TurboTax Home & Business (for tax year 2009) from Amazon. Despite the initial negative reviews talking about TurboTax’s bugginess, I needed to purchase the product today (12/31) so that I could take the expense deduction on my 2009 tax return. I’ve followed the prices for a while and seen them decline. The $73.62 price that I paid to download probably won’t be the lowest, but if last year’s price history chart is any indication, the price will bottom somewhere around $65 in mid-January before jumping back up into the mid $90’s around February 1st when everyone gets their W-2 forms and are ready to actually do their taxes.
The download from Amazon was fast and flawless, and I do mean fast. I have Comcast internet and all 85 MB was downloaded to my computer in slightly less than a minute. I know that the Amazon website says 105 MB, but the Amazon downloader only stated 85 MB.
Installation also occured flawlessly on my computer running XP. Upon executing, the software downloaded the latest updates from Intuit flawlessly. Once the program was up and running, I imported 2008’s return, added my password, and saved. I won’t do anything else until I receive my W-2’s in late January. By then I expect Intuit to probably have another update to improve/fix anything else.
I’ve been using TurboTax for my Home & Business since 2004 and have never been dissapointed with the software. The only thing that I was dissapointed with was the price that I was charged as a returning Intuit TurboTax customer. I believe that Intuit charges about $106 including shipping. Needless to say, I’m quite happy paying $73 and getting the same software.
