I won a copy of TurboTax Online 2008!

Although I’m a personal finance writer and often receive free books and other swag as part of the gig, I’m not going to pass up an easy contest if it’s something I need. And in this case, I needed the latest edition of TurboTax. Luckily, The Sun’s Financial Diary had just such a contest…and I won!

While I would have preferred an installable version since I used the Windows version for my 2007 taxes, I’m not opposed to trying out the online version. I previously used TaxCut Online for 3 years of taxes, but decided to try out TurboTax last year as TaxCut’s questionaire didn’t seem to fit my financial situation anymore.

I’ve already logged into TurboTax online, but I haven’t gotten a chance to enter any data yet. If the online version is just as good (or not as good) as the PC version, then I’ll let you know!

Thanks Sun!

    Lucky you! I’ve used the online version of TurboTax for the last three years and have had nothing but positive experiences…other than the fact their prices seem to increase every year!

    I am glad you can file your taxes for free this year 🙂

    I also started with TaCut but switched to TurboTax later. For the past couple of years when I used TurboTax, I found TurboTax is a little better. But I all used installed version. Try the online version and let us know if there’s any difference.

    I’m going to do my taxes online this year. Still trying to figure out if TaxCut or TurboTax is the way to go. Does anyone have suggestions? I’m single, a grad student, and have a member owner LLC
