expensive habit:

You buy it once for $90 and then next year you have to do the same thing, another $90. I don't know how much money you end up saving.

Far from perfect. Useless email support.:

2006 was my double state year. 6 months in one state and 6 months in another state. It was a good test of TurboTax's software. While most of the software seems to be quite good, but in some places they don't explain well what they mean.

First time doing turbo tax:

I said heck with it and did the taxes the old long hand method. Does someone want to send me a 2007 turbo tax personal and business state and federal program in compensation?
