Before Turbo Tax I REALLY didn't like doing our taxes. No more headaches at tax time. It's pushing the easy button. You start and before you know it you are finished with your taxes. I love the guided tour through taxes and the tax form review! I tell everyone. My son even uses Turbo Tax. You could say we are a Turbo Tax Family. Thank you TurboTax. I'm your biggest advocate.
This is the worst experience I've had with Turbo Tax and I've been using it for years. It was set up differently this year. I couldn't see how my numbers compared to prior years. I couldn't see that my office space was deducted until the end when I read through the entire return. Last year I was sent a notice that I had underpaid. This year I made less, but my taxes went up. The process is much less transparent.
Caught in a horrible loop that says I can't file unless I update TurboTax. So, I update, then it says that I can't file unless I update TurboTax. Ad infinitum. Would REALLY like to file electronically!!!!
What's great about it: Love it for actually preparing the taxes
What's not so great: Seem to have problems every year when it comes time to file!
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
This is at least the seventh year in a row that I have used TurboTax and once again it was a success. I own two small businesses and my spouse works as well. TurboTax handles everything in a logical manner making what was once a nightmare a pleasant dream.
