We are a small farming family. I use turbo each year and manage. Each year, it appears, you are adding and improving the farm section. It would be nice to have a program that was geared toward farming that we could buy. Otherwise, I think turbo is a great program.
Overall, was easy to use and great for verifying your info. One problem is if you have more than one business, it assumes the same items (startup) applies to new businesses.
What's great about it: Easy to use, easy to file
What's not so great: sometimes pulls up wrong questions for businesses
After entering all of my expenses - I accidentally chose the "Use Standard Deduction" and lost all of my data. Had to start over. Would like to see a better WARNING ONCE OR TWICE - to avoid this catastrophe in the future. - or maybe auto save before deleting all that time consuming information.
'Thanks -
What's great about it: Better than using an expensive accountant
Have used TurboTax to do both my personal and business taxes for years. I can't imagine any other way to do this. The cost is low and I have full assurance that the answers/choices are correct. It's like having your own tax advisor sitting with you. I love the ability to try various choices in the program and to see/understand the implications on the tax amount real time. I also enjoy the convenience that comes with having last year's tax return information on screen for real time comparison. Error checking and audit risk checking are also helpful. As you can see from my photo, I don't have a lot of free time to spare, so a program like this makes sense for me. Overall, this continues to be a great tool for dealing with a stressful challenge each year.
What's great about it: Simple, Straightforward, More Accurate, Transfer of Prior Year's Info. for Comparison
What's not so great: PA eFile should be free. Some of the guiding text contained minor grammatical errors that were misleading.
