Just like the title says, just thought I'd throw a reminder out for the heck of it.
I just filed my first ever tax return prepared solely by myself, it was fairly painless with TurboTax. That being said, I have a little rant about TurboTax, being that they try to nickel and dime you to death :shake:
First, you pay $40 for TurboTax Deluxe. No biggie, seems like a good deal and it is, especially for the Federal return and deduction maximizer (even though I had precisely ZERO deductions, other than the "standard" deduction, oops).
Then, I had to file two state returns since I moved to NM in Jan 2006. Problem is, TurboTax only "includes" one federal return and one state return. So I had to buy another state, for $29.99. Total is up to $70 now.
THEN, if you want to E-File (and who doesn't if you're getting TurboTax) you have to pay $16 PER RETURN to e-file them! :chair: That puts the total to over $100, I don't see them advertise THAT on the box :flipoff: Bastards :chair:
So, that's my rant on TurboTax :confused: It made things pretty easy, but how about a one-time price?!
