No expiration date or service fees. There is a lot of confusion about this. The main distinction to note is that there is a difference between *preparing* a tax return and *e-filing* a tax return.There is also a difference between *e-filing* a tax return and just *filing* a tax return using TurboTax : E-filing means the prepared tax return is submitted to the tax authority electronically. You can, if you wish, print the prepared tax return instead, put it in an envelope, and sent it to the tax authority by mail - this would be *filing* the tax return, as opposed to *e-filing*.For the TurboTax Deluxe Fed + Efile + State 2013 software, you are paying for software which will enable you to *prepare* up to 5 Federal tax returns and and *prepare* up to 5 State tax returns for ONE state only.When it comes to submitting the Federal tax returns, there is no e-filing fee - you can e-file up to 5 Federal tax returns electronically with this software, and there's no additional cost to do so. You... TurboTax has been a trusted friend for over 10 years now. The software itself is great - always user-friendly, and makes the tax-filing season a breeze. Highly recommend TurboTax for your tax needs. With that said...... the Installation process from the Amazon download was a pain. My PC is not very old (running Windows 7 Professional with an i7 and 8 GB), so I figured the download/install process would be simple. I didn't see the other posts about people not being able to install it after downloading. After a couple of attempts at installing, with errors both times, I did some research and installed the most recent version of the .Net framework from Microsoft's website. Be patient, as it's a fairly lengthy installation process. Once that was complete, the TurboTax installation worked fine.It's too bad I can't separate the installation rating (1 star) from the software rating (5 stars). TurboTax is a great piece of software, but this particular download and... Seems like people either love or hate TT. If you've used it for years like I have, it is so simple to move over your previous years return plus any accumulated capital losses that may go back a couple of years (a big plus for me). I don't have a particularly complicated return - no partnerships or LLC's, just your basic income and expenses but TT has pointed out more than one deduction I would have missed on a manual basis. And besides, who really wants to plow through the convoluted IRS forms! As always, the early release is subject to numerous updates before it's complete so don't buy it early if you want to file and be done. I like to get it as early as possible so I can do some year end tax planning based upon my overall tax picture and it's perfect for that. I do wish they would start including a free state e-file in the deluxe fed + state version but good old Intuit loves to nickel and dime its customers to death and when you own the vast majority of the market you can get...
