Have used Turbo tax for nearly ten years now and have found it to be better than when we paid someone to do our taxes. All rocks are over turned and nothing is forgotten, thanks to all the questions. I always let Turbo tax walk me through the entire list of questions.
What's great about it: Walks you through everthing
What's not so great: Only watch for new questions and don't let them throw you
Once you've used Turbo Tax, it gives you a choice to import information from last year's return. Confirms the information is still correct. So easy. Also love the ability to import W2s! I do not just my taxes, but my daughters as well - anything to speed up the process and reduce the chance of errors has my vote! Great product as always!
What's great about it: walks you through all possible scenarios for maximum benefit
What's not so great: don't walk me through Obamacare when I've already stated I have healthcare
Overall Very Good, Very Helpful, Makes me feel Empowered... Unfortunately the IRS Tax Processes, Laws, and Endless publications leave me confused and uncertain at times. I do not like the "Blog" style help function in TurboTax. I found many answers to be incomplete, confusing, and some just wrong... This adds to the overall frustration and stress of the Tax filing process...
When I have a question I just want a simple straight forward answer... and not a treasure hunt !
What's great about it: TurboTax seem to know what they are doing... Numbers, etc... always seem to come together in the end...
What's not so great: Help functions, definitions of IRS "Language", "Blog" for Help
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
