TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State 2007 [OLD VERSION]

I'm a first time customer of affordablebooks, very impressed with communication, careful packaging & prompt mailing. Received order quickly & in perfect condition.

As always, shopping at Amazon is amazing!. Product shipped & was on doorstep within three days of order...and with free shipping.
Thank you.

Have used this product 4 seven years. It is the class of the field. No question about it.

I have been a beta tester 4 Quicken (Windows) 4 a number of years. Each year I think "I don't think anything can be improved over last year's." And each year new additions & improvements are made. I have been using the final version 4 a month & I have no complaints & I am very happy with its performance.

I have been a Quicken Home & Business beta tester 4 several years now & a user of the product 4 many more years than that. In testing & using the new version of 2009, there was one clear enhancement that I think is worth the purchase all by itself, & that this version let's you customize the product in just about every manner 2 suit your tastes, how you use the product, & even just the visual appeal. This is important, because, unfortunately, as products like Quicken & competitors add features, it can get cumbersome, especially if you don't use all of the plethora of features. You can eliminate the screen clutter by customizing, so you don't lose functionality, but you can choose 2 use only what you want.

From a quality perspective, being a beta tester 4 this product, as well as an IT Professional who beta tests other types of products, I have 2 note that the 1st wave of the beta test product came out very clean (from a software bug perspective). This is key 2 me as it shows Intuit did its' due-diligence in internal testing before releasing it 2 the beta testers. Software quality is something clearly lacking in the industry now, (look at all patches, fixes, etc) & these can be security problems. I'm not saying there won't be any patches 4 Quicken, but it was refreshing.

There are also a bunch of other enhancements, that I'm sure have been posted, & I'm sure some people will not feel they are necessary, while others will, so I won't debate that, but it has changed quite a bit from even the 2008 version, so if you are before that version (or even at that version) it is worth considering (especially since you can make it more user friendly 2 yourself via the customizations).

The only faults I find in the product (which ARE NOT new 2 the 2009 version), is that it should have a more robust home & inventory manager (I believe this may be a separate Intuit product now, but should be a part of this product). The other point is that I have a small partnership LLC company. My volume is low that it approximates that of a well-established sole-proprietorship, but not very heavy. As a result, I really do not need the double-entry features of Quickbooks, but because I don't use Quickbooks, I cannot automatically export the Business information 2 Turbotax Business (and I cannot use Turbotax Home & Bus because it doesn't accommodate anything other than a Schedule C sole proprietorship. Hence, I'm forced 2 buy Quickbooks & Turbo-Tax Business OR manually move my BUS numbers from Quicken 2 Turbotax Bus. It still moves all of my personal information over 2 Turbotax, but I'd like 2 see Intuit try 2 accommodate some of the smaller partnerships & LLCs in the H&B product. That's not a technical problem though, just a personal issue.

Lastly, & this is not 4 Intuit, is that many people are now members of Warehouse clubs (eg Costco, Sams, BJs), and/or use Supermarket frequent shopper cards. Seeing that these companies gain valuable marketing & logistics information from us allowing them 2 collect personal information on what we purchase, I'd like 2 be able 2 download that information into Quicken as well. Realistically, if you fill up a shopping cart with products at A&P, do you go home & enter every single product/category into Quicken as a Split transaction??? This service would be great 2 assist in budgeting & seeing where money goes down 2 a granular level. (If anyone knows how 2 get this info, please share).

Hopefully some of this review will help some of you.
