EPA advises turning it down 6-8 degrees if you will be gone for more than 8 hours. Turning it completely off and then back on when you get home it would use more energy than just holding 68 degrees.

Turn off when leaving for work. From off, turn it down to 62 for sleeping. When you wake up, turn up from 62 to 68, then immediately turn it off when you leave for work. Something not adding up there.

Anyways, turning heat down is advisable only for long durations and should never be turned off.
