Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Oh, I don't think I'd like either of those any better, but if they meet my two stated "must haves" -- offline access and protection of my confidential information -- I might have to live with them.  And if they don't meet those requirements, I might actually have to use a CPA or tax attorney.  (I know someone's gonna say "Yeah, but they use online services, too", but I believe I'd be protected better.)

 

We're not there yet, thankfully, and I hope we don't get there anytime soon.  Maybe Intuit will listen to their customers and maintain the desktop product for those who prefer it, as I do.
