Although I have used TurboTax before I found it very difficult to use expecially when it came to deleing information about a trust that no longer exists and trying to find out how to enter and take deductions for my SEP IRA and my wife's Sousal SEP. I got contradictory information and finnaly had to override the entries of Turbo Tax and do not know what impact that will have on the IRS.
What's great about it: detailed and thourough to assure I consider every deduction
What's not so great: Difficult to maneuver through program
It was so easy to use. I have used other products in the past and I must admit.....they had me questioning my mental standing!!!!! Turbo Tax has been my best tax experience ever!!!!!!!
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
As usual, Turbo Tax guided me through my tax forms and asked the questions so I could get all info into my taxes. It had also copied the pertinent information from last year's TurboTax program the appropriate numbers so I could see what I needed to be looking for and how things had changed. Pretty easy to use. Only thing is every time I stopped, instead of asking if I wanted to open a previous file, it just started at the first fill-in-your-information screen.
What's great about it: guides through easily
What's not so great: Program did not ask if I wanted to re-open an ongoing file, as in past years.
I used TurboTax when it first came out many years ago but switched to a competitors software. Returned to TurboTax this year and am amazed how much better it is than the Competition. Will be using it in the future.
