Got 'r Done!
on February 13, 2014
Posted by: Goob311
Once again Intuit pulled all together and filled in the blanks. Definitely Quicken helps to organize data, you need to make sure you categorize correctly. Otherwise great program and makes my life easier!
What's great about it: Pulls everything together
What's not so great: Misses a few things
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Excellent Tax software
on February 13, 2014
Posted by: BoyfromNYC54
I've used Turbotax for years now and I've recommended it to all my friends and family. It is impossible for anyone to get it wrong when you follow the easy step by step instructions. It is written for the average person. Even if you've never done it before.
What's great about it: How easy the software makes filing
What's not so great: There are no cons. Except that it really spoils you for future filings.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Without TurboTax we'd have to hire an accountant. It is an invaluable tool and easy to use.

Itemized deductions vs. Standard deduction
on February 13, 2014
Posted by: mdkrueg
When a taxpayer itemizes but is just short of the standard deduction, the program does not elaborate on that subject. What I mean by that is: If you itemize, and live in a state that requires you to file a state return, then the itemized deduction may be a better option for you even if it's a LITTLE lower. Reason being, if you take the itemized deductions........that carries over almost in it's entirety (depending on the state) to the state return. If you take the STANDARD deduction on the federal return, you must take the standard deduction on the state return. The problem with that is the state's standard deduction DOES NOT MATCH AND IS MUCH LOWER than the federal standard deduction. So you could benefit on your federal return by a few dollars but owe the state, or have a much reduced refund from the state. Do you see what I mean?
What's great about it: The walk through is pretty complete
What's not so great: Program does not tell taxpayer itemized may be better even if lower than standard deduction

Another GOOD year, using Turbo Tax
on February 13, 2014
Posted by: gingin2insocal
I am a certified AARP volunteer for the IRS - TCE (Tax Counseling for the Elderly) / VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) preparer programs. A note: the IRS uses their own tax preparation program called TaxWise.
When I am in "training" each year to be a certified preparer, I am constantly making the comment, "I wish we could use Turbo Tax - it so much easier to use" or when I'm actually preparing client returns, I think "I wish I could tuck a copy of Turbo Tax under my arm and sneak it into this facility - sadly not".
Turbo Tax has a GREAT interview process, . . . You don't have to know anything about 'doing' taxes, inorder to successfully prepare your own taxes. Where as, using TaxWise, you have to 'know', what every FORM is and what goes on each form - - i.e., 1040, 2441 #credit for Child and dependent care#, 8863 #Education credits#, 8880 #Retirement savings contributions credit#, 8812 #Child Tax credit, both non-refundable and refundable#, Sch A, Earned Income Credit #EIC#, etc.
Yes, and both Turbo Tax and TaxWise - e-file.
#signed# - Love Turbo Tax
What's great about it: Great interview process, . . .
What's not so great: Talking me thru the Tax process (sometimes) takes, a long time.
