TurboTax's new Online Deluxe update for 2011 has some useful new features along with their classic features of scoping out mistakes and finding as many deductions for you as possible. Some of the new features on the Online Deluxe version (which also come in a Home & Business edition), include a Life Event Expert that helps you figure out how to fill out your forms if you had any life changes during the year. It also has a better "help" feature to explain each line of your form along with a more organized summary of your return.

OnePrice Taxes

• OnePrice is cited by Top Ten Reviews as a winner mostly on its ease of use. With tax forms being confusing enough, this software's attempt at simplifying all tax situations can be a welcome feature. The simplification gets more pluses than the help features, according to Top Ten Reviews. Help features require payment or delayed response time. Despite this, OnePrice boasts of getting your tax refund to you within eight days. Perhaps most importantly, they promise 100% accuracy.
