For the first pass TurboTax is totally awesome. Checks are made. Questions asked. Math is done. Explanations are given. Help is offered. Data is entered once and Forms are filled out in multiple places. Rules are followed. Did I say the Math was done? Oh yeah, I did say the Math is done for you all over the place. This great, saved me tons of hours. From major work if i did it my self to general easy with TurboTax.
What's great about it: From owing 4 digit to 4 digit refund, Total Awesome!
What's not so great: Can't jump back into the middle of something you have done to review it quicker.
WAS FRUSTRATED BEYOND BELIEF WHEN CD DOWNLOAD WOULD NOT WORK CORRECTLY AND HAD A REALLY HARD TIME LOCATING CUSTOMER CONTACT PHONE NUMBER. FINALLY RESOLVED BY GETTING ON LINE PROGRAM DOWNLOADED ON ANOTHER PC AS IT STILL WAS SCREWED UP ON DESKTOP UNIT
What's great about it: EASY ENTRY
What's not so great: HAD TO DOWNLOAD ON ANTHER COMPUTER TO GET IT TO WORK CORRECTLY
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
