Buy the Intuit TurboTax Premier 2015 for PC/Mac.ItвЂ™s that time of year again, where we await our W- forms and decide which tax software to use.

Turbotax 2014 Review Upgrade To Premier

Turbotax 2013 Mac Download Turbotax 2014 Free TurboTax is one of the most. There was a little outrage but really not that much from what I recall.Welcome to our reviews of the TurboTax Software Download (also known as All. However, the TurboTax Deluxe Desktop 2013 version kept this ability. You can see this as either a feature delete, or price increase. Last year, TurboTax Deluxe Online 2013 started requiring you to upgrade to Premier in order get guidance on stock sales (Schedule D) and self-employment expenses (Schedule C). I need to download turbotax amendment software for mac 2014 I just tried to do this & was informed by support that they can only supply customers with TurboTax products for the 3 prior tax years.

My theory is that desktop PC customers always pay for their software upfront (often at a physical store like Staples or Costco) and then donвЂ™t expect to be asked for any more money down the road. Why the outrage this year and not last year? TurboTax says 80% of people use the online version and only 20% use the desktop download, so you can see why Intuit thought everything would be cool. This time, break out the pitchforks! There are over a thousand 1-star reviews on the Amazon product page and articles from various media outlets including the NY Times and Time. In other words, the 2013 change to the online version was propagated to their desktop download/CD version.

The software only cost $40 or $45 initially. Finally, the price difference between Deluxe and Premier for Online is $20, but for the Desktop version is $30. In contrast, with TurboTax Online you pay at the very end and the price is always a little different with various coupon codes and promotions. Now in the middle of doing their taxes, youвЂ™re hitting them up for another thirty bucks?!

You can import from a previous TurboTax return. A photo, scan, or email showing proof of TurboTax Basic or Deluxe purchaseH&R Block will then send a link for one free download of H&R Block Deluxe + State (a $45 value, State E-file is $19.95 extra, does include Schedule D). Type of operating system in use (Windows/Mac) They donвЂ™t hide it, but you can see how repeat customers wonвЂ™t notice since the Deluxe name doesnвЂ™t change.Trying to pick up the fumble, H&R Block is offering any impacted TurboTax customer a free copy of the H&R Block Deluxe + State for 2014, which just so happens to still include Schedule D capital gains guidance.Those who have already purchased TurboTax Basic or Deluxe and would like to try H&R Block may email H&R Block at and include the following information:

I donвЂ™t know if it will work for the online version, but you could try.So there you have it. You may also mention a TurboTax VP made statements in Amazon reviews and media articles that Intuit would remedy the situation. You have to e-mail them at their own special e-mail address: or call them at 80 (8am вЂ“ 8pm EST M-F).Reports are that if you contact them and cite the unexpected feature change, they will offer you the upgrade to Premier for free (a $30 savings as noted above). That basically means the squeaky wheels get the grease. Well, hidden in the Amazon comments and vaguely referenced in various articles is the fact that Intuit will help their customers on a case-by-case basis so they can вЂњdemonstrate customer serviceвЂќ and вЂњdo whatвЂ™s necessaryвЂќ to appease customers.

For them, the Deluxe option means addition of time-saving import features. Both the online and desktop versions of their Free Federal edition and cover all the Schedules A/B/C/D/E and even includes a free Federal E-File. When comparing tax software prices, be sure to find the right version for your needs and also include the price of state e-File if needed.Or, you could use the underdog, TaxACT.com.

I was very surprised when TaxAct responded very quickly. I almost just paid the extra amount rather than trying to get TaxAct to address the problem, but I thought I would send them one message before giving up. I check all the calculations and the program was making a small mistake. Last year for the first time, I had a problem with the program.

A few years ago my tax calculations were off because I forgot to include dividends from an account that only issues online 1099вЂ™s. My return was reasonably complex last year, but TaxAct made it easy.I agree with Jake that we should just be able to get a bill from the IRS for the taxes we owe rather than having to go through a complicated process to calculate what we owe. All this support for a product I paid less than $10 for.I need to point out that the problem was not likely to impact very many people. TaxAct was responsive to me at all times and even sent me unsolicited updates. They felt their program reflected the IRS instructions. It took about a month to get the corrected version released, but they had to go to the IRS.

I found it to still be a great product, and am planning to file with TaxAct again this year. Eventually I migrated over to TurboTax because it had better import features, but when TurboTax started pulling their scheduleD shenanigans I went back to TaxAct last year. I used TaxAct for several years in the early 2000вЂ™s, and found when HSAвЂ™s first came out that they handled the forms correctly much sooner than TurboTax or HRBlock did. Would have been so much easier if they just told me up front how much I owed.Until that happens, IвЂ™m going to happily stick with TaxAct.
