YES YES YES!!! T. House and Sandra. Us ripping off a company making millions off of our backs!!!!!?????????????? What a luicrous remark. Does the “guy” claimed as bringing their copy of TT into the office (if it is even true) make what Intuit execs make?
RIP OFF is defined is defined as INTUIT.

Many people having problems installing TT Deluxe for 2008. Very difficult to get their customer service on the phone. Their product is steadily getting worse as they “glitz” it up and attempt to find ways to charge you for addition services.

As for the installation of 2008, the installer tried to install MS .NET 2.0, IE 6, and one other MS product that were already on my computer. Their customer service tells me I have to uninstall and reinstall my IE 6 and .NET, etc. Bullshit!! Why is it a problem this year and not over the past 5 years I have used TT?

Also, good luck getting a refund, you need to provide written request snail mailed to Intuit with receipt. My disk just arrived in the mail and they took the liberty of charging my credit card that I used for TT Deluxe 2007 last year. I probably missed some check mark about shipping and charging for 2008 when available.

Intuit should spend less time on fiding ways to squeeze a few extra bucks out of people and concentarte on SIMPLIFYING they software.

Nobody is “ripping” off turbotax, intuit, or anyone else. the only way to get anyone’s taxes done for free is to qualify economically. In other words, you have to be under a certain income level, as well as other criteria. That means if your mom or whoever does a son’s taxes, he would have gotten them done free no matter if he did them or his mom did them for him, as long as he met those income bases.

The comment you quote is BS… TurboTax has allowed the IRS imposed limit of 5 e-files each year for quite some time… So I would certainly surmise that there was no ripoff from doing other family members returns. In fact, I believe you’ll find that is allowed as part of the licensing agreement…

Intuit is a very unethical company. Are you aware that after weeks of advertising their state e-file fee as $17.95, they plan to raise it to $19.95 on December 30th? BEFORE THEY EVEN HAVE THE STATE SOFTWARE AVAILABLE AND BEFORE ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE THE DOCUMENTS THEY NEED TO FILE A TAX RETURN!

Intuit and TurboTax… What a bunch of dishonest business people…
