Turbo Tax had made my life much easier. I sold my last home during 2013 and was unaware of the newest tax laws regarding the sale of a primary home. With Turbo Tax, reporting the sale and guidance through the tax inquiries was effortless and saved me thousands of dollars. Turbo Tax is very informative and easy to use.
What's great about it: Ease of Loading and following tax prompts
My return requires an explanation for dividing a retirement as specified in a divorce settlement. I have to mail in partial copies of the divorce papers every year. This prevents me from e-filing. Why is there not some way to attach PDF documents to the e-file? TurboTax has a better chance to convince IRS of this need than I have.
What's great about it: Importing from the previous year is helpful. The step-by-step guide is thorough.
What's not so great: There is no way to e-file the supporting documents I need.
After using turbotax for years, I probably won't use it again. Lots of trouble getting updates, supposed to get a free state return, but kept asking me to pay for my California return. Still haven't been able to do state return, may have to go to a tax preparer. Spent many hours entering and re-entering data.Terrible instructiolns for gettingupdates. Clicked Get solutions , and got an endless circle that never ended and wouldn't go away unless I logged off.
What's great about it: deductions I didn't know about
What's not so great: updates, state return, crummy solutilns button
I liked using TurboTax, but I have to file a yearly attachment with my federal return (electing to defer a Canadian pension). Because TurboTax doesn't allow a text box or word doc attachment, I can't e-file. Lame! Otherwise it'd be perfect.
What's great about it: automatically selects and fills forms
