For those of you contemplating a TurboTax purchase.....

Many TurboTax purchasers were surprised this year to discover that Intuit has decided to deliberately disable critical features in TurboTax Deluxe. No Schedules C, D, or E. In the past, the product was functional, even though the "Premier" version provided more help and guidance. That was extra functionality and if you needed it you could buy it. But in Deluxe you got the forms, the basic help info, the IRS docs, the final review checking, printing, and e-filing. But not anymore. If you need Schedules C, D. or E, you'll need to upgrade to the $80 Premier Edition. Even in the high-priced Premier version, Schedule C is crippled -- limited to $100 of deductions in a couple of expense categories. I.e. only good for a tiny hobby business, and maybe not even that.

Many of you might be aware of the fact that Intuit (and only Intuit) complained to the Commonwealth of Virginia that their free VA State Tax preparation website was "unfair competition the private industry". That website through the Department of Taxation was shuttered about two years ago thanks to Intuit. It cost VA taxpayers all of $80K out of the state budget to keep it active. Now, VA residents that want to prepare their tax returns electronically had to upgrade to Deluxe versions of the tax prep software, and Intuit laughed all the way to the bank, while all of us footed the bill by sending our money into their corporate coffers.

So what to do? H&R Block software imports your TurboTax return of last year into its program. And if you already bought TurboTax Deluxe and realized you needed the extra functionality but didn't get it, H&R is offering their software for free, provided you still have your TT Proof of Purchase. Something to consider.....

Well done, my boy. There will be a little something extra in the pay envelope next month.

Additional information in an e-mail from Intuit...

"But good intent must be matched with great execution, and that is where we let you down. We have heard from many of you that you were surprised when you discovered the change. No one likes this kind of a surprise, so we are taking immediate action to make things right and help you through this transition year.
We are giving $25 back if you purchased TurboTax Deluxe desktop software (CD or download) and filed your 2013 tax return and have to upgrade to TurboTax Premier or Home & Business to file your 2014 return. This will help you move to the right desktop product, while reducing the immediate and unexpected financial impact. After completing and filing your return this year, request your $25 here."

How sad for you ... Now, what I have that you don't is an actually functioning and useful brain. That's why you have to come crawling to me every April begging for help. "Oh, Mr. Block. This 1040-EZ is s-o-o-o-o-o complicated. I can't understand it." So we take care of that for you. And leave you all your useless dicks to do with as you please. Suck on them like a lollipop for all we care.

Yeah, I got that too. It was missing part of the message, though I think I can reconstruct what was left off:

"Then, next year, you can pay the full price on Premier. Thank you for your devotion and your dollars."

LOL...TurboTax purchase...LOL

And don't bother trying to scare me or others unless you actually have a bad experience to share--6 years so far getting Deluxe or Premier on Kickass, Demonoid or TPB with NO problems.
