Intuit Charges More For Previously Offered TurboTax Features, Users Livid

Posted by Soulskill on Monday January 12, 2015 @11:08AM from the all-about-the-benjamins dept.

An anonymous reader writes: For years, the Deluxe edition of TurboTax was enough for investors and the self-employed to do their taxes. With this year's edition, Intuit removed Schedules C, D, and E, covering self-employment, investment income and asset depreciation. Those features now require an extra charge of $40. The company is getting murdered on Amazon reviews for it, with 900 users giving the software a 1-star rating.

Intuit top management got a huge pay raise in 2014. That money's gotta come from somewhere.

Does anyone remember this debacle? http://yro.slashdot.org/story/...
Their anti piracy techniques included messing with your MBR. I was still doing my taxes by paper at the time, but I was sure to steer clear of TurboTax after that garbage.
Terrible company...

It is much cheaper, has equivalent features, and better technical support than TurboTax. I started using this back when TurboTax added horrible DRM to their offering, and have never looked back.
