Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have used TurboTax since the early 1990s, when it was a DOS program, and have faithfully bought the Basic version (about $30) every year since then. While it didn't have all the Help features provided in more expensive versions, it did have all the forms, and I was happier entering data directly to the forms than going through cumbersome interviews. And if I needed help, the IRS has plenty of it online. No longer! TurboTax in effect has attached one schedule to each of its softwares. Basic is now limited to 1040A or 1040-EZ filers; if you have the long-form 1040, you must upgrade to Deluxe at twice or three times the price. And Deluxe doesn't have Schedule B! So if you have interest or dividend income, you must move up to Premier -- and Premier doesn't have Schedule C, so you have to buy Home & Business for ninety bucks. Not for me. After nearly twenty years, I'm switching to H&R Block, which imports all TurboTax data, and which provides all forms and schedules in each of its softwares.
