"The popularity of TurboTax can be attested to the 4.4 million taxpayers who prepared their return using the product line last year. It's incredible to now have these financial institutions put their confidence in TurboTax for the Web. These sponsors will help make TurboTax for the Web accessible to millions of taxpayers, including those trying tax preparation software for the first time," said Bob Meighan, vice president of the Intuit Consumer Tax Group. "And with our lower pricing and 'drop dead' simple interview, this year's TurboTax for the Web service is the easiest, fastest and most complete ever."
