However, TurboTax for Mac is not free. The cost of TurboTax depends on what type of return you want to file. For example, choices include TurboTax Deluxe Federal And State; TurboTax Deluxe Federal; TurboTax State and TurboTax Home & Business Federal with fees ranging from $29.99 upwards. For those that have complex tax return requirements, they may actually find it easier and cheaper to employee a professional accountant.

Most people choose to use the online service. TurboTax reported that 80% of the returns it handled came from its online products. When you have a choice between buying the software you install on your computer and paying to use the service online, you are better off buying the software download.

When you do a state return online, the prices automatically include state e-file. The software download with state return only includes the preparation part of it. E-filing the state return requires an extra $25 fee. I added $25 to the prices of the software download for an apples-to-apples comparison.

The software download also makes it easier to access the tax forms. If you are familiar with the forms you can toggle between the interview and the forms to confirm that you answered the questions correctly. The added transparency makes it so much easier to troubleshoot when you have problems.

After you install the software download to your computer, you can use it for multiple returns. It can be for a married couple filing separately. Or it can be for filing returns for children or parents. The software download includes five free federal e-files for this purpose. If you need to do more than five returns, you can buy another copy.

Online software is compatible with a wider variety of devices. You can use it with Linux, Chromebook, or tablets, whereas the software download typically only works with Windows or Mac. Sometimes the software also requires a more recent version of the operating system.

Free File is completely online. There is no software download option. The two largest tax software vendors Intuit (TurboTax) and H&R Block already left the Free File program. Also, some Free File vendors only cover federal returns. You may still have to pay for state returns when you use Free File.

Except for operating system compatibility and the possibility to get it free, all other factors give advantages to the downloaded software. Although it sounds like more old school, if you must pay, the software you install on your own computer is both less expensive and more powerful.

Thank you Barbara. I had stopped using TurboTax years ago because it was expensive. I just downloaded the premium version for free, which lists for $109.99. Also, the instructions Harry provided for accessing the download were very helpful.

I ran into that problem in H&R Block for 2014 as well. It caught up in the following year. Both TurboTax and H&R Block offer a no-question-asked money back guarantee for their software (downloaded or on a CD) whether you bought directly from them or through a retailer. I took them up on it in different years. They both honored it without any hassle.

For some reason the TT Premier Download on Amazon now costs $15 more than the Premier CD ($70 download vs $55 CD)?? Premier supposedly does more than Deluxe for those with capital gains and rental property income and expenses.

Hi Harry, my first visit after stumbling on to site. Read and love your article Download/CD vs online tax preparation.I always use Download or CD (preferred) for all the reasons you mentioned. I have used TaxCut, TT and HRB On my PC laptop. Overall, I prefer TaxCut by far. Used TT 2018 CD, was ok but q&a is not clear enough, especially for novice in taxes. Even worse is lack of decent Next Year Planning. In general, paid reviewers articles regarding tax software is cursuary (so?). Your review is far better.Two last Cmts:CD is being phased out industry-wide.State modules that TT (others?) Provide as downloads are often not product on TT, they can be poor quality and just confuse the unwitting tax preparer.

Hi Ed,I have used TaxAct and would like to check TT and HRB (TaxCut). Could you elaborate more on your comparison?(I also tried this year the free CreditKarma and it was not bad but I was blocked at the end by a limitation of business expenses to only 1 vehicle so had to fall back on TaxAct)

I purchased the H&R block 2022 deluxe software download. However my employer is based in another state (I work remotely) so when I started preparing my 2022 tax the software asks me for an extra $39 to download my work state program as well, which says it is a prerequisite for filing my home state taxes. This not something I had thought about, and $39 is much more than I paid for the whole software ($25) which on the fine print, says it includes *one* free state program. Is there anything I can do to save that $39?

Thank you for your reply. It was triggered because my employer withheld taxes for the work state, not my home state. When I started working on my home state return within the H&R block software, it asked me to complete the work state return first. My work state is California, so I see they have free Calfile, I guess I can do this to save the $39.

TurboTax Deluxe includes free federal eFiling and helps homeowners, investors, and charitable givers maximize deductions. TurboTax Deluxe offers real-time help and searches for all possible deductions, including medical bills. Its Audit Risk Meter flags potential audit triggers and helps you avoid them.

First-time visitors to the TurboTax storefront can sign in, create a free account, or start any tool for free. TurboTax Deluxe's compatible form list was a welcome surprise; basically, it handles everything but business forms like Schedule C and those for estates and trusts. There's an option for first-time filers, too. We logged on to the secure site and had the option to start with last year's returns or create new forms. A prominent Help Search tool gave access to quick assistance by phone, chat, or online community. The site, itself, is slick and professional, and we found it to be very intuitive.

Some paid tax software provide free offerings. Free offerings are based on individual tax situations or income levels. Find out from the software developer what free offerings are available for their product.

Check the software list above to confirm that your software is certified for the year you need. If you are using uncertified software or an older version of the software, you may need to update or download a certified version from the developer. 2b1af7f3a8
