Turbotax 2009?

From: R. C. White on 3 Dec 2009 18:09 Hi, CSM1. TurboTax is usually available before the end of the year so that we can start planning. Some of us need to know whether to make year-end transactions, such as charitable contributions, stock sales, or other such actions. Of course, this is only the preliminary version of TurboTax, subject to change after year-end. Who knows what Congress or the IRS might do in the last few days of the year! Also, some forms may not have been issued by the IRS yet. These late changes - both expected and unexpected - will be offered for download as updates to TurboTax between January 1 and April 15. Many of us like to poke in our year-to-date numbers, plus an estimate for the remainder of the year, and see - before year-end - just what the picture looks like. We can do some of this by using last year's TurboTax program with this year's numbers, but it's more comforting to have current rules and rates in place. We don't expect to file this preliminary version, of course, but to use it for planning. RC -- R. C. White, CPA San Marcos, TX (Retired.

I've been using it for several years and find that it's powerful, easy to use and inexpensive. Every year when I finish my taxes, I buy their ~$17 package which includes Federal, State, and a Federal eFile. (IIRC, the state costs ~$6.) 2nd Story Software doesn't bill your credit card for the $17 till it releases the final version each January, *but* they email me with a link to download the preliminary version usually in early October. This is really great for pretty accurate tax estimations. They do have an online version too, but I prefer the download. Regards, Margaret
