All paid purchases include 5 free federal efiles but the state efile costs around $20.

It says free shipping if you buy 35 dollars or more on Amazon....so 5 would be more than that.

I've asked the same thing myself. I have both formats (apple & amazon). I wish I can consolidate it with one software download, be it itunes or amazon unbox but I don't think this will ever happen.

yes, includes 1 free state download for preparing the return, but e-file for state is extra cost at $19.95 per return. The state download is currently not available and scheduled for release on 1/15/2013.

Where exactly would I be able to locate this information?? ( I checked under my amazon orders as well as on the ad. I am at work currently and am unable to open the program on my laptop at this time if that is where I would find it.)

the box says: " 1 personal (state 1040) state program download included: state e file available for 19.95." For Federal return e-filers, you get 5 Federal e-files. So, filing with the Feds is free for the first 5 filings; for each state return e-filing you pay 19.95. (many programs make their money on e-filing state returns--see IRS Free-File participants.)

Nope, the EULA is very specific, this is for a single system, and it requires internet activation. If you've got 2 systems, you'll need to buy two copies. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

It took me several try's for the download and installation process to work properly. For some reason it almost stops downloading early or is interrupted and misses things. Colonization is downloaded first, I figure. If you delete everything and install again from Amazon it will eventually fall into place. Extremely frustrating but it will work. Amazon should let you use the same code for a few days. They let me anyway.

Yes, although you'll have to download it. A full download is something like 5 gigs.

I'm sure everyone will get a different response from their respective customer rep. on this topic. Mine agreed to give me the free update, but only after I fax him a receipt, which in this case is the Amazon return slip. So heads up, this "free update" doesn't seem to happen automatically...you have to ask for it.

You don't have to have the disk in your computer to use it. The program does randomly connect to the Internet to check that there are no updates and that it's an originally issued copy of the program. As far as using it on multiple computers you can do that if they're not being used at the same time. I have it installed on 2 computers but never use them at the same time.

Amazon allows you to download the software as often as necessary. However, you must still abide by the license agreement. Bob Meighan, VP TurboTax

Actually there is a limit. From page 63 of the user's manual "This unit can recognize a total of 9999 (a maximum of 999 files per folder)." Although my entire mp3 collection tops out at around 7500 folders & around 375gb. Appreciate the response though. I'm upset they couldn't have done something about the file limit on last year's models, as it was the same for 3 model years.

I don't know. It stopped working on my PC, so I uninstalled it. When I tried to remove the disk from its holder in the case, it was so hard to remove that I cracked it in the center about half inch. I tried to reload it into my PC several times, but nothing ever happened. However, I would think that the disk could be downloaded to as many computers as you wished. Francine

Yes and I think there is even a version for 5 computers as well. I had it on 3 of mine, got a new PC, uninstalled off &#65279;the old PC and installed it on &#65279;the new PC in under 5 minutes with no problems.

I'm interested in the answer to this as well. I've always bought the cd version thinking it's the only way I can share with family members. (I believe it's up to 3 filings)? Would the 'download' version allow for this too?

I only needed it on one devise. In the past I've called Amazon and gotten help with multiple music and book downloads. Contact Amazons Help & customer service department, they can probably help.
