Basic handles your return if you don’t itemize deductions and requires you to purchase a state return. Each offers increasingly more sophisticated sets of features designed to fill your specific tax needs. TurboTax comes in four different flavors: Basic, Deluxe, Premier, and Home & Business. Good Guidance: TurboTax 2012 helps you navigate your personal tax needs with clear questions and a minimum of heartburn. (Which is to say that Intuit has done a great job of migrating a desktop app to iOS.) As always TurboTax helps you make quick work of filing your personal taxes and is now, for the very first time, offered as a free download from Apple’s Mac App Store. TurboTax Premier 2012 is essentially the mirror image, in a desktop application, of Intuit’s new iPad version of TurboTax.
