TT Deluxe for Mac 2002 The One-click update Merry-go-round
I have use Macintax and Turbotax for the last few years and generally have been very pleased..until this year, 2002. I am running Mac OS 9.2.2 and this is my story. I ordered the CD in mid January expecting to file my taxes at the split second that I received my W-2's. Well all was going as planned, I had my tax forms ready to file. Then I said to myself, "Self, lets check for updates using the one-click update feature just to make sure that I was using the latest forms and software". The one-click update looked like it was working..it went through all the downloads and update installation. I did the one-click update again just to be sure and it told me that the Turbotax Engine needed to be updated again. I went through the update sequence a few more times just to make sure that I wasn't doing something wrong. The updater could not be satisfied! Well after trouble shooting this for a few hours and dealing with the Turbotax Technical Support Chatline 3-4 times, I was told to wait until mid February for another Mac Update. Goodbye to the split second tax filing. Next year--Goodbye to Turbotax

Good product gone bad
I used TurboTax in 2000 and 2001; it was simple and error free. But 2000 was a nightmare in several respects. When I tried to locate the self-employed health deduction location, for instance, I simply got a message telling me what had to be done and the software didn't take me there. I had to do a manual override. It kept telling me there were errors (I was using EasyStep) but when I would fix the ones it found it would tell me there were more than before. I opted to download the current upgrades, which, it said, would take just a "few minutes." At 56k it too an hour and a half. Then it printed the quarterly estimated tax vouchers for 2003 with letter across it saying that they required a software update to print properly. We're in July of 2003 and they aren't ready? They have turned a relatively simply and effective application into an abomination. It took me 5 hours to do our simple taxes, and I eventually had to just send the forms off with "error" still being reported. The prior two years I spend about 2 hours using TurboTax.

On the down slide
Many errors, awkward. I've used Macintax and turbo tax for many years. This year was the most problem filled one yet. Ane they make the filing rebate harder and harder to collect.
My last year with this.
