I have used Turbo Tax for years to file our Personal AND our BUSINESS Taxes --- It's AWESOME! It is broken down into sections so it's not intimidating -- they ask you easy questions to determine what needs to be entered -- instead of you having to sit down with a Tax Form and try to figure out just What do they Want!!??!! It's the BEST way to File Your Taxes!!!
What's great about it: Easy, Fast, Do it Yourself!
I PURCHASED ONE OF YOUR MOST EXPENSIVE PACKAGES, ONLY TO FIND OUT UPON COMPLETION, THAT I WAS UNABLE TO E-FILE BECAUSE THE DATABASE DID NOT HAVE ALL THE FORMS NECESSARY FOR E-FILING, THAT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND INCONVENIENT, ALSO COSTING ADDITIONAL MONIES. THIS IS THE ONE REASON I PURCHASED THE PACKAGE
If your tax returns have numerous 109Delaware9 forms, TurboTax will electronically download them into the proper income tax return form. However, if your state income tax return requires you to include a copy of parts of your Federal tax return, you should not choose to e-file your state income tax return. The state e-filed return will be incomplete.
What's great about it: electronic retreival of 1099 forms issued by financial institutions
What's not so great: instruction lacking for deductions for education required by professional licensing law
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
i really liked the ease of use this year, but it wasn't clear on what business espenses where when it came to consumable and basic building materials where they are to be intered or added. after printing a hard copy it showed up on sheet two of "Profit and Loss Business form schedule C, line 38. It wasn't clear in the prompt question that matereials could be added at that point. Otherwise it was really a great program.
What's great about it: seemed to anticipate the next question
What's not so great: didn't provide consise answers to questions
Have been using Turbo Tax for years, and like the format and guide me questions. I do think they could include the state efile in the original purchase price and save the extra hassle of paying for it as you file.
What's great about it: helpful and easy to use
What's not so great: needs to include free state efile
I switched from H&R Block software after 20 years, thought yours is better, but it was not.. Older years by H&R Block software were the best, but the new ones are just like yours, made for beginners, Hard to jump and recalculate, I have been doing taxes since 1980, I don;t like this programe.
What's great about it: software made for biggeners
What's not so great: Slow, must take you step by step, made for rookies.
