Developed by a company called Intuit, we have watched Turbo Tax undergo a number of dramatic changes since conception to where today, the Premier package is an excellent investment.

For one thing, the developers of Turbo Tax have realized that consumers have different needs. Because of this, they have created a number of specialized versions of the same product to include Basic, Deluxe, Home and Business, and Premier. This means whether you are a person planning for retirement, someone involved with investments, or simply a person needing to prepare income tax, a program is developed for you. In fact, you will also find Turbo Tax programs available for Spanish-speaking consumers.

For this review, we wanted to focus just on Turbo Tax Premier, which is a great program. Although some improvements have been made, the application still works much the same way it did before. For instance, figures from various suppliers can be imported for 1099 and W2 information. With this feature, time-consuming and error-making data entry is eliminated. One of the new features of Turbo Tax Premier is the addition of payroll services, bringing the well-known company of ADP onboard.

Another great feature recently added to Turbo Tax Premier is known as "My Tax History", which means additional data from the previous year's tax return can be entered and saved. The result of this feature is saved time and effort. Even the Help feature of this program has been improved. For this help files have been developed to assist with form explanation, government instructions, IRS publications, and much more. In fact, a video library and multimedia presentations within the program are a huge benefit. You can even utilize live help and advice for a mere $19.95 that includes up to 10 minutes.

Even the navigation of this program has been enhanced. While you had to do significant searching with previous versions, this new release provides users with an indexed list of topics.
