Time-Saving Options Deluxe Deduction Maximizer is loaded with time-saving features that help you to quickly and easily file your taxes without making mistakes or cheating yourself out of key deductions. First, this program lets you transfer and edit information from your last year's TurboTax return so you don't have to enter it again.

Save even more time by quickly jumping to sections of your return using a clickable tax topic list. Nothing wastes time more than an exhaustive audit, and that's why Deluxe Deduction Maximizer flags items the IRS might question so you can take care of potential problems before you file. At the same time, this program compares your deductions to national averages for your income bracket so you can quickly see if your deductions fall outside the norm. This prevents future headaches while also potentially saving you money.

For even speedier results, e-file your return and get your money back in as little as 10 days (fees apply). This program also comes with TurboTax's guarantee that you'll get the maximum refund you're entitled to with TurboTax than with any other tax preparation method or they'll refund you every penny of your purchase price.

Customer Reviews:
Filing fees and Maryland State Taxes Think about the amount of effort...is it workth the extra $7.95? TurboTax charges $14.95, but you get your refund back quicker (next day from Maryland State Taxes and 6 days for federal last year). Get TurboTax and pay the $14.95. I don't work for these companies, but I hate spending extra time doing taxes.
Tip for Maryland Users: Use TurboTax to do your taxes, then print it out and re-enter the info in Maryland's free tax filing service and save time and money. Most refunds are paid within 48 hours! --2006-12-19Before you buy, read this! Before you buy this, you should be aware that Intuit charges $15 for each e-file, Federal or state. There's no free e-filing with Turbo Tax, period. Seriously, I think $15 is a lot to pay for e-filing. There are websites that give you completely free e-filing; my favorite is TaxAct (at taxactonline dot com). With TaxAct, you get the complete Federal plus state package for $7.95, which includes e-filing. Or you can use their standard package to prepare Federal and e-file for free, with *NO* income restriction!
I don't work for any of these companies, nor any tax-related company, nor any such entity. I just don't think it's right for Intuit to charge customers such a ridiculously high fee for e-filing, whereas people can e-file for free elsewhere. BTW, if you use Turbo Tax to prepare your return, you'll have to use Intuit's e-filing service if you want to e-file; you can't just take your file to another website and expect that website to do it for you. I used TaxAct in the past and they are very dependable. You can find reviews of TaxAct products in major magazines and on major websites.
Good luck. --2006-12-09Turbo Tax I have been using Turbo Tax (formerly Macintax) since it first came out.
It is better than all the other Tax Programs.
Macintosh Magazines seem to agree.
State Taxes, at least in New York, you may have to wait for the download because the Program requires approval of NY State, and NY State may make changes effecting the software, which needs to be added.
It is best to run the update feature before submitting a final print out of State Taxes.
Support: In one comment it appears that there is no Mac Version. It appears the comment refers to OS 9 users.
Macintosh no longer supports OS 9, and many software manufacturers including Turbo Tax have dropped support as well.
For full analysis of the program see MACADDICT when they get around to reviewing the program. --2006-12-07Staying with TurboTax Last year, TaxCut left Mac users out in the cold when they stopped making a version for that platform. TaxCut customer service is pathetic as well. At the same time, Turbo Tax had solved a few problems that they'd been having for a couple of years. When I switched back, the only problem I ran into was not being able import the previous year's TaxCut info into TurboTax.
The interface for the program is good. It's fairly easy to jump back-and-forth within your return. The major drawback is that if you're ready to file, the program won't let you until it gets all of it's updates. Beyond that, TurboTax earned my business back with a program that is easy to use and pays for itself. --2006-12-05TurboTax better than ever TurboTax continues to impress with the easier than ever interface. The completeness, care and attention to detail on the screens that we experienced during the beta test period was exceptional. It was so easy to tell exactly where you are in the program at all times. I would recommend the program to anyone. --2006-12-05
