Online Interactive Offers Last Minute Online Tax Solutions with Intuit's Award-Winning TurboTax...

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 9, 1996--Taxpayers who have once again waited until the last minute have a new and convenient way to prepare and file this year's tax returns -- without ever leaving their homes or offices.

Anyone with a computer, modem, and credit card can now download a complete

version of Intuit's (NASDAQ:INTU) popular tax software from the atOnce Software store on America Online (go:atOnce), the Microsoft Network (keyword: atOnce), and the Internet (http://www.atoncesoftware.com).

Operated by Online Interactive Inc. (OLI), a leading developer of branded electronic commerce services, atOnce Software is a virtual storefront where online users can securely download hundreds of popular software titles.

"Electronic distribution offers an innovative and convenient service to consumers who want quick access to software but want to avoid the hassles of retail shopping or mail order mishaps," said Tim Choate, president and CEO of Online Interactive. "Preparing your own taxes is less of a chore today thanks to resources such as the atOnce store and companies like Intuit that enable people to easily accomplish a dreaded, time-consuming task."

Downloading a copy of TurboTax software is extremely easy. Once inside atOnce Software, online users simply click on the product screen to indicate that they want to download TurboTax software. America Online members are prompted to input their name, credit card information and address; following a "real-time" credit card authorization check, the file transfer begins.

Microsoft Network members are notified that their account will be billed, and they are billed only after TurboTax has been completely downloaded. Internet users download the program using a secure encryption technology called ZipLock that routes sensitive credit card information in a separate modem-based call -- no credit card information ever passes over the Internet. Download times vary according to modem speed and approximate times are provided.

The TurboTax product is America's best-selling personal tax preparation software and has won several prominent industry awards this past year. Noted for an intuitive interface that guides taxpayers through the entire interview process, it also features one of the most comprehensive online support sites available.

Intuit Inc., the maker of Quicken software, develops and markets personal finance, small business accounting and tax preparation software and services which enable individuals, professionals and small businesses to better manage their financial lives. Through strategic alliances with many of the nation's leading financial institutions, Intuit offers its customers online financial services and investment information.
