No More Lost Opportunities
Deluxe Maximizer Center 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.

5 out of 5 starsVery happy with this product., 2007-09-14
I did my taxes in less than 2 hours and I had stocks to enter. This does a nice question and answer thing and gets easier to use each year that I use it. Great product.

4 out of 5 starsMakes quick work of an unpleasant task, 2007-06-23
After my one and only trip to a well know tax preparation service that left me quite unimpressed, I decided the next year to use Turbo Tax and have been using Turbo Tax ever since. So far it has helped me understanding and handling inheritance, mortgage and even a side business. I've been a little disappointed of late to see the company move away from their original willingness to stand behind their product if users were audited, to an additional service fee. About my favorite feature is the option to create a PDF file for your tax return.

4 out of 5 starsNice but extra for state taxes?, 2007-05-22
I am a fan of TurboTax it's great, easy to use in my opinion. However no one told me I would have to pay extra for the state tax program...

Still worth the price in my opinion.

1 out of 5 starsMisleading, 2007-04-27
I was terribly dissapointed. I purchased a copy because I wanted to file online... of course I was able to file online, but only after paying a SECOND time to use the product I paid for.

Simply put, if you are paying to use this product all you are getting is an electronic tax form. If you want to file online, you will have to pay additional charges. If you want any real help you will have to pay additional charges. Their online help for tax questions isn't particularly helpful, in depth, or well organized. If you want "audit protection" you will have to pay additional charges.

Add up all these charges and you have what you would pay to a basic tax preparer/professional. In my opinion, your money would be better spent with a tax professional than in spending your money on this product and being subjected to the barrage of solicitations for more money for services you thought you had already purchased!
