Home and Business edition easy as pie
on April 3, 2014
Posted by: Gunn44
from High Point, NC
I have filed my own taxes for both our home and my business over most of my professional career. I have never really looked forward to tax season and often would put off filing to the last day. This was always very stressful for my wife who likes to complete her tasks as early as possible. Turbo Tax keeps both of us stress free.
What's great about it: Ability to change data as necessary w/o slowdown
What's not so great: I personally found no cons this year
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments

Do not understand why I had 35 errors.

This year 2013, I encountered two problems: 1) I had to re-enter the investment name and tax ID # of several mutual fund 1099 Div's, which I have never had to do. I would think that TT should import this information from my Fed Return as I believe it has done in the past. 2) When running my federal review, I found 35 errors all related to one 1099-R form. It made no sense to me why this was happening. I had to enter the same four items of information (recipient's name, recipient's SSN, investment name, and investment tax ID) 9 times and run the state review after each time until the errors were gone.
What's great about it: Turbo tax has been wonderful. Very easy to use.
What's not so great: This year, I encountered 2 problems. Do not understand why.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Idaho
on April 3, 2014

from Kuna, ID
Why would I file Idaho form electronically if I have to mail the check? The postage will be another fifty cents. No $20 from me for electronic filing.
What's great about it: One evening and done
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Glad to have TurboTax!
on April 3, 2014

Overall, I can't imagine doing our taxes without TurboTax. The one area that was difficult was that it asked me about the depreciation on our property in another state as if it was income. That was confusing. But overall, it works!
What's great about it: Carrying over the information from Quicken makes it a lot easier to do this!
What's not so great: Some of the questions are not clear

I used one program that was free off the IRS website and could not understand many of the questions and sections…came out that I owed 1k more than I did! So went back to Turbotax which I enjoyed using last year, even tho had to purchase it.
I do think it's not completely honest/accurate to say file for free, then tack on fees to use check or cc and for even 1 state other than my own.
What's great about it: drop out boxes explaining items were very helpfully worded
What's not so great: unclear if I really have to file an Oregon state form when I only worked there 2 weekends.

Finally Done with taxes this year
on April 3, 2014

The step by step instructions ensured that I covered all the items I needed to cover to get the maximum refund. Although it still took my quite a few hours to enter all my data and check it, it would have been much worse if I also had to read all the instructions for all the forms pertinent to my tax situation. I like the feature that allows me to find out what certain terms mean, or what conditions apply to me, especially when the answers come in a pop-up, rather than going off to an external web site. During the filing sequence, some instructions were provided via external web pages. I like the locally provided pop-up window better. I like the easy e-file capability. It is the first time I have used e-file for a federal tax return, and I got my confirmation in less than 30 minutes. All in all, I am pleased with TurboTax, with its completeness, with its focus on getting the data right and getting the maximum refund for you. Thanks!
What's great about it: easy to follow step by step guided instructions that included EVERYTHING I needed to provide to complete my taxes
What's not so great: Had a large amount of data to enter. Can't blame TurboTax for that.

Gets Better Every Year
on April 3, 2014

from Washington, DC
Once you have gotten all the information together to pass along to an accountant so they can charge you (lots) to prepare your tax returns, you've already done all work to prepare your own -- and Turbo Tax makes that easy. It's amazingly satisfying to get it done!
What's great about it: Had a question, asked it -- and Turbo Tax answered me.
What's not so great: Well, after all, it is doing a tax return.
