Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Compatible with both Windows and Macintosh operating systems, TurboTax Federal Basic 2006 guides you through your return step-by-step so you can quickly file your taxes and receive an even faster refund. This program asks easy-to-understand questions in plain English and then puts your answers onto IRS-approved forms. To ensure complete accuracy, it then double-checks your return for errors and even flags potential audit risks.
Federal Basic 2006 makes it a snap to file your taxes by electronically retrieving W-2 wage, 1098 mortgage interest, and 1099 investment data for hundreds of participating employers, mortgage companies, and financial institutions. It also enters data on the correct forms, eliminating manual data entry errors. This software then compares your deductions to national averages, so you can quickly see if your deductions fall outside the norm and might trigger an audit. Time-Saving Options To help save you time, Federal Basic 2006 features summary pages at the end of each section so you can easily find and edit data you've already entered. Quickly jump to sections of your return using a clickable tax topic list and take advantage of the prior year data import option which transfers and lets you edit information from your last year's TurboTax return so you don't have to enter it again. For added convenience, you can also import data from Quicken, QuickBooks and Microsoft Money. To keep you on track, the refund monitor constantly displays and updates your refund or tax due as you complete your return. In addition, one click gives you late-breaking IRS and state forms without interruption so you can rest assured that you're not missing out on any important changes that could affect your return. And because you can work on your return while you update the software, multi-tasking is a breeze. This software also eliminates the need to guess or estimate your return by tracking how much you've saved in deduction and showing you the impact on your refund or bottom line. Fastest Refund Possible Federal Basic 2006 delivers the fastest refund possible, so you can spend less time doing your taxes and more time enjoying your return. In fact, if you E-file your return, you can have your refund in as little as 10 days-- and even faster with direct deposit. You'll also receive an IRS receipt confirming your return has been officially filed. No-Risk Guarantee There's absolutely no risk involved in using Federal Basic 2006. TurboTax guarantees you'll get the maximum refund you're entitled to with this software than with any other tax preparation method or they'll refund you every penny of your purchase price. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - This was the end of the road (bad)...I have been using TurboTax for many years, and each year their product gets more invasive, less functional, and much harder to install. This year it finally reached the point of being negative utility (i.e., worth far less than the hassle). I am a little suspicious of any program that requires administrator access to run, but that's another matter. Once the TurboTax is running, it opens up all kinds of application ports and tries to phone home, claiming it needs 'updates' to run. Their ... Read More Rating: - Did the jobStill a slightly clunky interface - feels very Microsoft/Wintel - even on a Mac, but it works. Better than the onlin "free" version and more secure (who do you really want storing your tax data? Them or you?) Better than the other offerings out there last I tried them. Having said that, it's also much better than the paper forms the Federal government provides, to be sure. Rating: - Best--and only?-- MAC Tax SoftwareFor the past two tax seasons I've used this software, and never has doing this terrible chore been simpler. Other types I've used for Mac had all sorts of glitches--information was lost and I'd have to type it in again over and over; it kept telling me I had to fix errors before my return could be sent, and it was usually stuff I'd already entered. The programs would quit on me. They weren't user friendly and this one is. It might be that all the programs have improved. BUT this is the only one I could ... Read More Rating: - TurboTax botches e-file - AGAIN.TurboTax has really gone downhill. After using it for years, it is now riddled with attempts to get you to pay more for add-ons, charges rediculous amounts if you have questions or problems. And then... I spent two days trying to e-file, always getting a Server busy message from Intuit. This is AFTER they got my credit card number and $34. to file the fed and state tax returns. So I had to hand assemble the return and make the trip to the Post Office. Intuit lobbied the Gov to let them ... Read More Rating: - TurboTax for 2006 returnsSame as last year: It gets the job done. It is fairly intuitive after one gets used to it. |
