[OLD VERSION] TurboTax Deluxe 2024 Tax Software, Federal Tax Return [PC/MAC Download]

Many of you getting ready to file taxes for tax year 2024 using TurboTax are probably anxious about the discontinuance of Intuit not providing a CD version for desktop, which I have been using for over 2 1/2 decades. I like having everything on my computer where I can control it, and I was hesitant to do an install where you download your Install file and then have to have an intuit account to access information. I read the reviews for the first month and a half, and a lot of people were having problem with TurboTax. Just trying to get the product out of the door and not all the features were readily available, especially the ability to migrate previous tax year information into your tax form. Well, as of November 29, 2024, I feel very comfortable with the TurboTax deluxe federal version. The install was smooth and seamless. and very intuitive. I was able to migrate all the information from last year‘s tax return to simplify my tax filing for 2024. And like many TurboTax users, you can be rested assured that we will be getting updates over the next couple months as IRS releases more and more information to assist us in filing taxes, I was always hesitant to update TurboTax after filing my tax returns since I wanted the information to remain as filed. But the updates only increased stability and security for TurboTax and did not adversely affect any of my TurboTax filings. I always hoped, however, that maybe I would get a bump in a refund because of new tax law, but that has never happened. So go ahead and try it out and you will be pleasantly surprised that everything works even this early in the game and for Amazon‘s offering of $38 for the federal deluxe version you can’t go wrong. I was able to review my taxes and the one change that I had to make for the latter part of this year was because of a better performance out of a savings account Which obviously affected my tax obligation by the end of the year. But I can’t complain about paying 16% tax on $4000 of savings and income, which would’ve been the same had I known about the savings account earlier in the year. So the nice thing is that you can Check your taxes out right now and make any minor adjustments to simplify the actual filing after your forms come in during the next two months :)

I see reviews that are less than 5 stars because people had issues getting the software installed and running, this is not the sellers fault!! You are paying for a product code for TurboTax and will have to download a copy of the software from Intuit. Rating this less than 5 stars because you had a issue on the software side is absurd. A lot of people, including myself, had issues launching TurboTax after it was installed with various error messages. If you are having issues READ BELOW, If you NOT having issues, then do not follow this. Click on the Start Menu from the taskbar, and type CONTROL PANEL in the search bar at the top, you should see the control panel app, click on it, find PROGRAMS and click UNINSTALL A PROGRAM, a list of installed apps will populate scroll down until you find "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64)" there will be a version number after the (x64). The latest update from Microsoft should be 14.42.34433. If you have any other version you will need to UNINSTALL it (right click, click uninstall) and and download and install the latest version from Microsoft's website. I would recommend doing a google search for Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64), this will get you directly to the download. Hope this helps some people out.

I always buy this program to do our taxes. Ours aren't complicated and we don't have a state tax so it does them in an hr or so. Hardest part is the input in the first year. after that, the program uses the previous year to populate the info. Hasn't been wrong yet! Installation is a breeze..

I like TurboTax, but every year I wish it was better...so I don't love it. It inevitably misses things so you have to go to the actual IRS form to plug in information. When you close and reopen the app, it doesn't take you back to where you left off, which would be hugely helpful. And who does their taxes in one day? There are also constant software updates which makes me ask what's changing and why and how are the updates affecting my taxes? Still, with numerous complaints, I'd rather use TurboTax than nothing or any other tax software.

Worked as expected. Been using TT for several years now and it saved me a lot of money in tax prep fees. It's a little clunky to install and seems to have a patch/update every time you start it but once it's running it works well. Pleased with this so far. There are several options for free filing for those who qualify, but for those who have more complex situations (but not overly complex) this is an affordable way to get it done.

Have purchased and installed Turbotax Deluxe 2024 software on December 2. Was planning to use it to plan some optional transactions before year end December 31st, so that I can do the right amount of withholding of taxes from my retirement account withdrawals. But I hit a roadblock, when it came to entering INCOME section, since software said it won't be ready till Jan. 12, 2025. So software was useless for planning the year end transactions and I had to find other means to do it. Today is Jan. 13, 2025, and while I can enter my Retirement withdrawals (manually, since the 1099-R was already received by me, but they wouldn't go to Vanguard and get it automatically). However, when I reached social security income, the UPDATE button just won't let me continue. It brings it back to the same page. In other words the software is stil not ready. If someone has to pay estimated taxes for 2024, the last date is Jan. 15th. and the software not working makes it totally useless. So DO NOT BUY this software, for tax planning purposes. IF that is their intent, then they should DISCLOSE that the COMPLETE SOFTWARE wont' be ready till such and such date and they should be held to that promise. OR ELSE they shouldn't be selling incomplete software.

I've used TurboTax for the past 20 years and I've never had reason to regret using it. I've tried several of the other tax preparation programs and they also get the job done, but they're always a bit harder to navigate if you have a complex return and come with less built in advice. There's also the TurboTax community of users which is a great resource for difficult questions. I've never found an error in their calculations and I like the fact that I can track the progress of my return acceptance and refund.

Good product. Easy to install. I use it every year. It is getting a little pricy, though.
