Ditto on the ease of transition from TT to TC. I made the switch several years ago after a major problem with TurboTax's online functionality and have never regretted the change (especially after continuing to do yearly price checks).

The one thing that does bug the heck out of me, though, is the "free after mail-in rebate" basis of the e-filing, state software, and discount. You almost need a CPA just to keep up with the rebate forms.

Not that TurboTax is any better in this regard.

My guess is most or all rebates are offered with the premise that (1) some of the people who purchased the product because of the rebate will not file for it, and (2) some of the rebate checks mailed will never be cashed.

There's also those cases such as the one just uncovered here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where a postal supervisor was found to be supporting his methamphetamine habit with other people's rebate checks. But, that's another thread.
