I tried to select Schedule C and was told that I needed to upgrade TurboTax and that it would cost $40. I thought that they had disabled the wizards that walk you through the forms, but found out that I was wrong when I started entering numbers into TurboTax. I had no idea what the letter was referring to, so did a search and found that they had disabled Schedules C, D & E in TurboTax Deluxe and there had been a huge outcry. As explained in the e-mail, they were improving the customer experience by removing functionality and it was really being done for customer benefit or something like that.

This comment gives only a very short summary of what I consider to be Intuit's anti-customer behavior. If Intuit has a capable, strong board of directors, which I doubt, the board should consider getting a new CEO, and firing all the other dishonest people in Intuit top management. Dishonest people, when forced to correct their dishonesty, look for other ways to be dishonest. Dishonest people don't later become honest, generally. Intuit has a LONG history of abuse, of being anti-customer to make more money.

Intuit said in a release that 'the information used to file fraudulent returns was obtained from other sources outside the tax preparation process.' The company called pausing e-filings to states a 'precautionary step.'
