That website is NOT an authorized TurboTax re-seller.

 

Any website trying to sell TurboTax software anywhere 75% to 90% discount from the retail price is selling pirated software and probably has malware and other virus's embedded in the program.

 

Only use authorized retailers either online or brick and mortar.

I realize that but how does Google allow this crap to be all over their search engine?

It is almost impossible to police ... ask google why they cannot stop them.

TurboTax only authorizes big name retailers to sell TurboTax.  Unless it is  a reseller like Walmart, Costco, Sams Chub, Amazon, Best Buy and other big name dealers like that, you can assume that it is bootleg software which can, and often does, install malware on your computer.   Many of these websites that sell for way under cost often trace to China or Eastern Block countries which makes it difficult to shut down.
