This review is from: TOPS Double Window Tax Form Envelopes for W-2 Laser Forms, 9 x 5.625 Inches, Gummed Closure, White, 50 Envelopes per Pack (2219LR) (Office Product)

These envelopes arrived already sealed closed - every single one of them! To use them, I tried to open them carefully, but almost every one of them tore and was unusable. I advise everyone NOT to buy these.

This an awesome review of accounting as applied to financial statements and corporate finance. It's not a how to book for people looking for nuts and bolts "how to" accounting lessons, but rather provides an excellent overview of "what" and most importantly, "why" accounting practices are as they are and what that means when examining a companies financials. Definitely recommend.

I just purchased the course over the book as it is more detailed. It has certainly been great so far. It is very detailed and really gives you a better understanding. As indicated by many, it really preps you for those front office Wall St. positions. I hope to ace those interviews with the help of this course!

Issues, but Not With Amazon, January 29, 2011

J.R. (Florida) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: TurboTax Deluxe Federal + e-File 2010 [Download] - [Old Version] (Software Download)

I downloaded this product last night. It was by and far the best price I could find. Intuit doesn't even offer "Federal Only - Download/CD" on their web site. According to Intuit help, you have to call them on the phone for this product and then it will set you back $44.95. After the download my troubles began. My primary machine is a Windows 7 Ultimate computer. The installer sensed that I had a previous version of Turbo Tax installed and, instead of trying to install in the Program Files folder, offered the correct location... but the name was something I wanted to change. They used a default name of "Deluxe 2010", which could be confusing when you use Quicken Deluxe 2010 as I do. So I tried to change the name. The installer died with no error message at all.

I tried to do the install on my backup machine which is a Vista machine with the same error. This morning I tried to install on my laptop, and it worked perfectly. The laptop is Windows XP SP3. So I went back and tried to set the installer to compatibility mode. I tried both the Vista machine and the Windows 7 machine in compatibility mode (SP2 and SP3), with no luck. So finally I gave up. I have posted this issue to the Intuit user forum, but don't expect any results.

Finally I need to tell you that this software has a major NAG. If you buy the software from Intuit, there is no registration screen. If you buy from a third party, like Amazon, there is a registration screen that comes up when you start the program. I don't mind that, but it continues to come up EVERY time you start the program, even if you have filled the form out previously. What a major pain/bug.

I would still buy this product from Amazon again, just because the price is so good. But I would have bought the Sam's Club boxed version for even less AND on CD if I hadn't let my membership lapse.

Turbo Tax arrogance, February 11, 2011

If you purchase a Turbo Tax product from any one other vendor than the Turbo Tax web site, you are required to register the product every time you use it. You can click "skip" on the registration screen, which appears every time you open the software, however you then will not receive updates. When I confronted Turbo Tax customer support about this, they finally relented and allowed me to download the product from their website. In my experience, this type of arrogant disregard for customer convenience is typical of Intuit. I will not be using their products in the future.

Still the best, January 18, 2011

brownil "brownil" (wimberley, tx USA) -

This review is from: TurboTax Deluxe Federal + e-File 2010 [Download] - [Old Version] (Software Download)

TurboTax is the oldest, and IMO, still the best. Make sure you get the version that you need: this one is Federal only, plus a paid-in-advance efile (eFile $9.95 cost is charged by the IRS unless you buy it as part of a tax software package). You can purchase a State component separately, but if you require a State submission it's a better deal if you buy the "Federal+State" as a package.

BTW, I also tried the "H&R Block TaxAct" software side by side. It is cheaper by $10 and it works pretty well (not quite as intuitive as TurboTx, I think). However, although they advertise that it "imports info from TurboTax", I found that not to be the case. It does import simple info like names, addresses etc, but in my case it did not import the complicated tax-related stuff like depreciation schedules, home-office specifications, etc etc. Unless you have a fairly simple return (no home office, small business, business use of a car, etc), switching may not be a good idea unless you are willing to re-invent the wheel for some complex issues.

I also think that downloading is a better idea than buying a cd at some B&M. This way, you are getting the latest version; when you install from a cd, you will spend from 5 to 15 minutes downloading "updates" for the older version on the cd.

I'd give this software 5 stars, but the idea of income tax makes me nauseous so minus 1 star :-)

PS: this version is NOT $9.95 from Intuit - it is $49.95 plus Shipping and Handling.

The author describes how she has followed her passion, photography, while developing a more steady stream of income than she was able to make as a freelance photographer doing weddings, senior portraits etc... This is her account of the different things she has tried. What worked and what didn't. It gives an insight into the incredible amount of work, patience, perseverance and thick skin required to get such a venture off the ground. If youv'e ever considered making a living using the internet and social media than this is a great read.

I've been following Snapchick on YouTube since 2009. Her equipment recommendations have been incredibly helpful to me as a working professional photographer. This book is a fast read and full of workflow shortcuts and suggestions on how to get the most out of social media. I'm a fan of her photography, especially her self portrait work. Bottom line, buy this book now.
