Turbo Tax Deluxe Review
No matter how complicated your return, we highly recommend that you use the TurboTax online filing program to work on your return.
You can start right now, and pay nothing until you decide to file, while using the program's extensive features and help files.
If you prefer to use software that you install on your computer, and you normally file a 1040A or a 1040 without any schedules, then TurboTax Deluxe is a good solution from the market leader in tax prep software.

Our review of Turbo Tax Deluxe
Overall rating:  (out of 5)
Turbo Tax Deluxe is Intuit's best-selling product, and probably the most well-known and most praised tax preparation software out there.
Does it live up to expectations?
For the most part. Year after year, Intuit has added so many features to this product, and made it so easy to use, that it is now possible to prepare and file your return in 30 minutes, if you don't itemize.
The easy-to-master filing wizard will guide you through your return relatively effortlessly, while allowing you enough freedom to use the added features that help you search out all possible tax savings.
The negatives, which aren't many, include weak support for more complicated tax issues involving investments and small business income. Intuit does this so that they can sell you the slightly more expensive Turbo Tax Premier and Home & Business versions.
