ItsDeductible coming in Mac-compatible online version Yesterday we reported that a promotion for TurboTax offering the ItsDeductible program for free was Windows-only, even though none of the sales material indicated the fact.

Intuit has now informed us that they plan on offering an online version of ItsDeductible compatible with Mac browsers later this year or in early 2006.

Bob Meighan, Vice President of the TurboTax division at Intuit tells MacFixIt:

"TurboTax for Mac customers will have free access to ItsDeductible (online) that integrates with the TurboTax for Mac software product. Additional information on this will be included with the TurboTax for Mac product that ships in late Nov/early Dec."
