TurboTax Versions, Prices and Features

TurboTax Income Tax Software for Tax Year 2008

TurboTax Online Free Edition has no income limits (unlike the Free File program) and anyone with a simple federal income tax situation can use TurboTax Online Free Edition. TurboTax Free Edition does not transfer data from last year's tax return, and it does not import data from Quicken personal finance software or download W-2 or 1099 data. You need TurboTax Basic Online for these features, but if you have a really simple tax return, TurboTax Online Free Edition is the way to go.
