I am using it and have not had any of the problems you mentioned. It save and loads perfectly. Actually, I'm very happy with it and impressed at the quality. It sounds like you just don't like your mac. Perhaps if you go to the local Apple store you can get help from the techs. I manage windows systems for a living and have only been using macs personally for a few years. It's different, but now I'm hooked. (and I used to HATE these things!)Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16106170453477606461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-45566825458551551922008-02-09T21:45:00.000-08:002008-02-09T21:45:00.000-08:00In your situation, I would buy turbo tax pro this year, crunch the numbers, and see how it compares with your accountant's. If it works out, then switch next year. It's extra work, but I think the extra peace of mind is worth the effort.Piaw Nahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15582578691900817661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-72465326702997402482008-02-09T19:23:00.000-08:002008-02-09T19:23:00.000-08:00Does anyone have any advise on Turbo Tax professional? I have an S-corp and have been using an accountant, but it's getting so expensive now. I'm wondering if I'll have any problems trying to do my business taxes myself using Turbo Tax professional.Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02900204412837239850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-70167185421288674952007-10-16T09:18:00.000-07:002007-10-16T09:18:00.000-07:00Intuit does good work. Believe me, Turbo Tax has saved me thousands of dollars in both fees and tax savings. (Access to TaxResource's Tax Audit Protection alone is worth the price of Turbo Tax --- though admittedly I get my copy via Employee Discount) The Macintosh has does nothing but cost me money and suffering. Guess which one gets the boot?Piaw Nahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15582578691900817661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-75146188807927349342007-10-16T09:01:00.000-07:002007-10-16T09:01:00.000-07:00QUOTE: "The moral: if your finances are non-trivial, get a Windows license and run the Windows version of Turbo Tax. <BR/>This is another reason my next machine will not be a Macintosh."<BR/><BR/>Based on my own extensive experience with Intuit, on Macs and PC's: instead of blaming Macintosh, I say:<BR/> " This is another reason my next software will not be from Intuit."Bill Banchehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13449813107676782886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-45125567626802188812007-04-01T23:19:00.000-07:002007-04-01T23:19:00.000-07:00I ended up using TurboTax on my (Intel) Mac, and it worked flawlessly. I didn't start until late March, and the first thing I did was download all the updates. Maybe they fixed the bugs.<BR/><BR/>I haven't tried Quicken on Mac yet. Quicken 2007 on Windows has some obscure corner cases with investment accounts, where I've had to delete and reinsert transactions to get everything working properly. It's almost enough to make me want to try Microsoft Money.DWallachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08713162566837799543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-14359331866820607862007-02-27T09:50:00.000-08:002007-02-27T09:50:00.000-08:00Yeah, but with a software license, you pay once and you never need to pay again and make as many filings as you want. With the on-line sites, you end up paying for each filing. For someone like me (who files for 3 people), the software license makes more sense. Plus the import from previous years feature really saves a ton of time.Piawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03116429926139149249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-70601315563275657972007-02-27T09:06:00.000-08:002007-02-27T09:06:00.000-08:00I'm also on a mac. None of the money software is good on macs. I used an online tax prep site (taxbrain) this year, which actually was very savvy. No problem with on it Safari either, which we all know can have some issues with some sites. Seems online is the best option.Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12840156401389845648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-22897938535127311162007-02-14T09:49:00.000-08:002007-02-14T09:49:00.000-08:00Note that if you're a linux user, VMware server edition is now 100% FREE and happily runs windows XP or 2000 with pretty modest requirements.<BR/><BR/>Again, if you're looking to use quicken or TT and don't feel the need to reboot.Paul Tymahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11412172362500455307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-65007686151173794712007-02-14T07:58:00.000-08:002007-02-14T07:58:00.000-08:00Yes. Quicken for Mac is ridiculously bad. I also only use the Windows version under parallels.Piaw Nahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15582578691900817661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003618.post-58628092913201316652007-02-14T06:59:00.000-08:002007-02-14T06:59:00.000-08:00Thanks for the report. I was about to try the Mac version myself. On a similar topic, is Quicken for Mac still inferior to the Windows version?Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12763893596828565170noreply@blogger.com
