TurboTax Deluxe 2015 screenshot of software
Sure, I still have to pay for postage, but it’s quite a bit less. To get around this issue I enter all my state information into TurboTax, but then print out the forms and snail mail them. The Federal efile is free, but not so for state. My biggest gripe, however, still remains: you are given one “free” state download, but still have to pay $20 to efile it. Work at the same place as 2014? You don’t have to mess around with retyping the 10 digit employer ID or mailing address (that is assuming you used TurboTax in 2014). I love how information is retained from the previous year and easily inserts into the new one.
Sure, the direct-to-forms method is free, but TurboTax not only makes it easier and quicker, but it helps prevent mistakes (which could be way more costly down the line). I have been using TurboTax since 2005 because it makes doing taxes much easier than printing and filling out forms manually. Whew!Īs for myself, I didn’t need any of those forms in 2014, so it wasn’t a problem for me. If that wasn’t enough, I checked the software by going to Forms > Open Form and expanding the list. A quick glance at the vendor’s product image on Amazon also confirms all three (C, D, and E). According to Intuit’s website, the online version of Deluxe only supports schedule C (not D or E), but the download/CD version supports all three.
They brought back Schedules C, D, and E to the TurboTax Deluxe version. This year, thankfully Intuit learned their lesson.

If that wasn’t enough, TurboTax stopped transmitting state returns for a time due to fraud concerns criminals using stolen identity information to hijack refunds. Regardless, customers viewed it as a bait and switch prompting over a thousand 1-star ratings on Amazon. Intuit claimed the removal of the forms wasn’t to force Deluxe customers to upgrade to Premier, but to synchronize the desktop version with the online version. Basically, these forms were for people who are self-employed, independent contractors, have non-investment capital gains or losses, or own real estate that was rented out to tenants. This was mainly due to the schedules C, D, and E forms that Intuit removed and forced people to upgrade to the more expensive Premier to get them back. Last year (2014), TurboTax Deluxe got slammed with bad reviews. TurboTax Deluxe 2015 Federal + State Taxes + Fed Efile Tax Preparation Software – PC/Mac Disc ★★★★★
