I’ve used TurboTax for more than ten years to do my tax returns and those of a few family members. This year, to milk more money from it’s users, Intuit is requiring you to pay an extra $10 for each return you print after the first one.
Don’t let Microsoft know about this idea or they might charge us for each document we print with Word.
I will be looking for another good tax return software program. Any ideas?
Update: TurboTax backed off their policy. They will allow you to print more than one return without charging you extra. Here is the reply I received from them:
Due to customer Feedback, and other changes in the Tax environment, as of yesterday Turbo Tax has decided not to charge for extra returns this year.
TurboTax now includes free electronic filing with every federal return prepared with desktop software products. TurboTax is the only tax software to include both e-filing and audit support with every federal return.
TurboTax customers can e-file up to five federal tax returns, the limit set by the IRS, and prepare and print multiple returns at no additional cost.
Including free e-filing with every federal return is one more way we help make it easier for TurboTax customers to keep more money in their pockets.
Here is a link to the statement above.
