Mac experts - Tax program?

[AmandaRuth]

Just got a mac to replace our virused riddled windows pc, In the past I have used the turbo tax program to auto file our taxes. I can 't find a tax program for Apple, but then what do i know. Is there a turbo tax like program written for a mac? Mucho mucho thanks for any advice.

1. TurboTax is available for the Mac...

but most of the office supply stores probably don't carry it.

It's available directly from Intuit on their web site (www.intuit.com) or at mail-order places like MacMall (www.macmall.com).

If you have a CompUSA near you, they should have it as well. And of course Apple has their own chain of retail stores, but there's only about sixty of them in the whole country.

Hope that helps, welcome to the Mac. You have taken your first steps into a larger world.

3. Things you will hear as a Mac user...

1. Apple is going out of business any day now. (I've been hearing this for at least 15 years)

2. There isn't any software for Macs. (Office supply stores ignore Macs. The mac mail order business is thriving)

3. I need to use Microsoft Office. (Office is available for Macs)

4. Macs are too expensive. (Macs aren't cheap. But they tend to include things that PCs don't. My cubemate bought a $2200 Dell without a DVD burner because Macs were too expensive. My $1500 iMac has one)
