Deluxe Deduction Maximizer shows you how to qualify for over 350 deductions, from mortgage interest, to child-care expenses and more, so you don't miss important deductions that could have a significant impact on your return. As you move through the deduction process, this program looks for deduction opportunities, shows you which deductions you've already taken, which you haven't, and which you're not yet eligible to take. The end result is a comprehensive tally showing how much you've saved in deductions as well as the impact on your refund or bottom line. Life Events Planner
This program now features software that guides you through common life events-- like buying a new home, taking on new dependents, marriage or divorce-- and shows how future life changes will affect next year's taxes. By giving you a glimpse of what's to come, you can optimize your present and future tax situation. Time-Saving Options
Deluxe Deduction Maximizer is loaded with time-saving features that help you to quickly and easily file your taxes without making mistakes or cheating yourself out of key deductions. First, this program lets you transfer and edit information from your last year's TurboTax return so you don't have to enter it again. Then, when it comes time to make changes, you can take advantage of the summary pages at the end of each section-- they make it a snap to find and edit data you've previously entered. Save even more time by quickly jumping to sections of your return using a clickable tax topic list. Nothing wastes time more than an exhaustive audit, and that's why Deluxe Deduction Maximizer flags items the IRS might question so you can take care of potential problems before you file. At the same time, this program compares your deductions to national averages for your income bracket so you can quickly see if your deductions fall outside the norm. This prevents future headaches while also potentially saving you money. Fast, Guaranteed Results
Because it's so thorough and easy to use, Deluxe Deduction Maximizer can help deliver the fastest refund possible. For even speedier results, e-file your return and get your money back in as little as 10 days (fees apply). This program also comes with TurboTax's guarantee that you'll get the maximum refund you're entitled to with TurboTax than with any other tax preparation method or they'll refund you every penny of your purchase price.

Reliable as ever.......2007-06-08

This goes from strength to strength each year. If you want to save money and don't mind 3 hours in front of the computer (after you have collected all your W-2s and paperwork together), then this how to do your taxes.
Ability to save, change, edit at later dates prior to submission makes this a great tool for the busy people of this world.
Deduction finder was not as good as I hoped, though it did put me straight on most questions I had.

Too Many Updates & Print Issue.......2007-05-20

Turbo Tax Deluxe installed cleanly on Windows XP Pro with no problems but every time I went to use Turbo Tax there were updates.

I was never sure when I should submit my Tax return because maybe in a few days or weeks there would be more updates perhaps affecting what I would owe.

An update should be a rare occurrence but with this product it is routine. They need to get it right at time of release.

Another irritant is that the Turbo Tax cover letter throws off the print out of the return for those with 2 sided printers. Page 1 of 1040 ends up on on the back of one of Intuit's cover letter pages. The IRS doesn't want to see Intuit's words of wisdom with my return I am sure.

In order to avoid this problem it is necessary to save the return as a PDF file then select the proper 1040 Page 1 as the start of printing.

item arrived on time & in perfect condition (new n in box) and I was able to file my tax on time too

TT.......2007-05-13

It's a rip off but at least it does my taxes right and is still cheaper than going to sit in front of an accountant. Not really worth it though if you have simple taxes (no investments/401k/529/etc)

Great product, but getting worse?.......2007-05-12

I've been using Turbotax for about since 99, and the product has improved continually over that time to the piont where doing taxes is fairly painless. I did notice this year that the ability to "elegantly" handle the sale of ESPP (employee stock participation plan) shares was removed from the deluxe version and now requires you to spend another $30 upgrading to the "premier" version. (It is still possible to enter these in the deluxe version manually, but this is a clear downgrade from prior years.) Hopefully this is not a trend on the part of Intuit.
