A friend recommended taxact at $7.95. it works fine. If you need the deluxe, it is $9.95. I stopped using turbotax years ago as it got too pricey. A friend recommended taxact at $7.95.

I prefer TaxAct.com since it's 100% free - filing, e-send and refund. TurboTax also allows people to do their taxes for free on their website.

The Best Buy store price was $59.95, but rang up as $49.95. I showed the Costco printout to the sales clerk and he called the manager over who approved the purchase as a Costco price match for $39.95. Sweet!

When you fill out the rebate submission form to send in, it asks for 2 items: the original rebate form and the sales receipt. I have unsuccessfully tried to find out where to get the 'original rebate form'and finally today I got a phone number for the rebate center (I tried emailing them and got no reply)and found out that the submission form is sufficient. Having had rebates returned for insufficient info, I wanted to make sure of this. Here's the phone numbers (which are not easy to get): Rebate Center 800-605-2652/Intuit Support 888-777-3303. BTW, had no problems at Best Buy getting TT for $39.99 with the Costco print out and coupon. I have been on the phone with TT for 3 days about the rebate.

I have used TT for years and it is an excellent tool. The first year I did it parallel with my own work and found it caught some rather simple errors I had made. Each year they have improved the product. Now as far as doing your own taxes let's take 2008 for example where I had over 800 stock transactions. I could manually do them or import them from the brokerage house. Then comes investment property. What do you think is easier? <font color=green>EDGAR replies:</font> Rick... you are comparing apples and oranges. The TT Deluxe SOFTWARE is NOT for sale for $29.95 at tt.com. That is the online version, rather than the version you do on your home computer. And it does NOT include your state return -- that is an EXTRA $34.95!
