The TurboTax Deluxe Software from Intuit is a Mac & Windows software application that is designed to help you complete your federal and state income taxes. The software guides you through the steps necessary to complete your 1040 form, automatically downloading your W-2 and 1099 data in many cases. The software lets you download a single TurboTax State product, perfect for anyone who needs to file both federal and state taxes.
The software includes ItsDeductible, which is designed to ensure that you receive the maximum refund to which you are entitled. It helps you to accurately assign values to items donated to charity, and can track other deductions including cash, mileage, and stocks.
Intuit provides online support with this product. You'll be able to ask TurboTax experts questions in Intuit's Live Community. The application itself can offer tax advice, and can translate unclear IRS tax forms into Plain English. Five federal e-files are included, allowing you to electronically submit your taxes to the IRS.

The Intuit software sold at B&H is intended for use in the US only. It is not aware of tax regulations in other countries.
