Turbotax software 2008 - IRS competition against turbotax software

Turbo tax 2008 is one of the popular tax softwares that are available in the market.  It is used by high number of people and such softwares are really getting more and more.

Something that vindicates this argument was what I heard latest from IRS. They declared recently that the use of their efiling service is seeing a dropin number of people who are using their services. The drop is about 9.5% over last year.

The tax softwares such as tax cut or turbotax 2008 on the other hand are seeing an increase in numberof people who use it.

I wonder why that is since IRS efiling service is free while the tax softwares cost money.

Well thats because they extra features and maximum refund guarantee that they offer. When filing the tax returns through IRS, you don't have as extensive help available as when using the tax software. Also, as an added advantage, turbotax software and Taxcut offer a maximum refund guarantee for 2008 returns.

So, with all this said, what will you doto file online tax return?

Will you use IRS efiling system or will you use turbotax?
