(Each state e-file has a separate e-filing fee, but you can avoid that if you prefer to mail your state return.) Each return is in a separate document like having different Word or Excel documents. Turbotax desktop can prepare an unlimited number of tax returns, with e-filing allowed for up to 5, all for the same initial price for the CD or download.

OPUS ONE COSTCO UPGRADE

OPUS ONE COSTCO INSTALL
Turbotax online is a different product from Turbotax Desktop (which comes as a download or CD to install on your own computer). The online version runs off Turbotax's servers and can be accessed from any web browser as well as smartphone apps.
Think about it this way.The "desktop" version is purchasable as a boxed CD or a downloadable installer, and is installed on your own computer. It’s ok to have this brand on groceries or batteries but it’s not ok to stick it on a bottle of wine, especially an expensive one (leave alone shirts and some other product categories). Costco did a great job on building this house brand and it’s an extremely valuable strategic asset but if they keep managing it like this, may be 2-3 more years and it’ll start losing its brand equity because people will no longer take it seriously. There’s always a short run for a brand that keeps it going while it’s being milked but eventually it’ll get damaged to the point of no recovery. Most executives don’t believe in this but it always happens. Moreover, the more high-end a brand is, the easier it is to destroy it by stretching it. Kirkland Signature is being positioned as a superior brand and it’s a great strategy and I’m sure it works for Costco but you still cannot stick it on everything. There are certain things that you just can’t do to a brand. I said – a Kirkland wine at $30? He said – Yes, and please don’t be confused by the name… and that’s what got me thinking. Then he added that I should also try a Kirkland cabernet which is priced a little higher, at $30, but is really good. As I was checking out, I asked their wine person if it was good and he said yes.
I was at a Costco store the other day and I bought a $20 Robert Mondavi cabernet. I knew that the Kirkland Signature brand was being stretched beyond possible but I never really thought how bad it was till recently.
