It would really be nice if there were work sheets available that you could print, these would help you get organized before you start. If you have some tax preparer doing your taxes, they always either send or give you a set to use.
What's great about it: easy step by step directions
What's not so great: no work sheets to help you get organized before you start.
There is far too much verbiage and attention given to maximizing the refund. The refund is only a function of how much money was given to the IRS vs how much money is due the IRS. It's OK to draw excess attention to providing a vehicle that provides accuracy, simplicity and ease, but the purpose of my purchasing TurboTax for many years now is not to "maximize my refund" but to submit an accurate return to the IRS. I really think that your excessive attention to the refund cheapens your product. While I, too, want to minimize my taxes, I purchase TurboTax to legally and accurately do so. I don't need all the extra hype while completing the program.
I prepared 5 income tax returns and each one was handled well. Had a bad birthdate in one return and Turbo tax helped me fix that with no effort. I did like the feature wherby you cound check on the status and expected date to receive my refund.
What's great about it: Did four efiles and got excellent results each time.
It is very hard to get your move across. Turbo tax was either hard to get the idea. I could not make the move across, my selling and buying a house, my selling of the stock,. It wasn't easy! I know that the IRS is going to get a hold of me and it really is not necessary. And then maybe not!
What's great about it: Because of the years I have used it, it is very easy to use.
What's not so great: This year however, I moved to another state at my doctor's request.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I moved, I bought or sold investments
