2013 Taxes
on July 14, 2014
Posted by: Charles55
from Jakarta, Indonesia
Turbo-tax is quite helpful and I recommend its use. It makes sure you cover all forms and schedules needed for your situation. Questions make sure nothing is missed and of course the "arithmetic" is correct.
What's great about it: In General, Very Good
What's not so great: Sometimes questions, especially on depreciation not 100% clear.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Very Good Except for K-1
on July 14, 2014

from Indiana
I've used Turbo Tax for a very long time and I like it very much. The one thing I have problem with is filing K-1s. A number of boxes (e.g. box 11, code A & F, and Box 13 code W.) don't give enough explanation. I spent hours trying to figure out what to do and never did. The system asks for more data but the publicly traded partnership told me there's no more detail to give.
What's great about it: intuitive
What's not so great: K-1 needs to be beefed up

Good but can definitely use improvements
on July 15, 2014

Turbo Tax doesn't remember my answers even though I have answered them before and keeps asking me the same questions. Also, the questions are pretty cumbersome to answer again and again when I just want to go straight to my business, income or deductions main page - why do I have to go thru the wizard to answer the same questions "again"?
To improve: 1. Make Turbo Tax remember my answers. 2. Don't ask me the same questions again and again even if TT does remember the answer. Give me the option to go straight to my section or to answer the questions again if I choose to.
Making this improvement will make me fill out and re-review my taxes much much faster. This improvement will let me do and file my taxes atleast 30% faster.
Thanks.
What's great about it: Calculates automatically and guides you with deductions
What's not so great: Doesn't remember my answers, the questions wizard keeps coming up

GREAT EXPERIENCE

from Alvin, Texas
This was so EASY.
Having our own business I was skeptical.
But I did it and got a REFUND !
My last tax guy really gave me a raw deal. Thanks to the slow economy I was forced to look at alternatives and I am so very glad that I did.
The BEST feature is that they review your information and show you EXACTLY where to put or change it. The form that you need is available at the bottom of the page and the information that you need to change is highlighted.
You have the option to file electronically AND an optional service to represent you if you get audited and you get a copy of the return instantly to print for your records, and if you are self employed you know how much you need to keep documentation for everything.
And it is MAC friendly and super short download, even for broadband (we live where cable is not available and downloads CAN take a while).
I as SO very impressed and will use it again and again. A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER.

Poor handling of Forms not included...
on July 16, 2014
Posted by: Disappointed978
from DC
There were forms not available by filing time (4/15) and your system wouldn't let me file. You should have a better way to handle that. You caused me to be late filing. I have no problem because I am due a refund, but I do not like filing late. You should have a better system. REALLY disappointed. I rate it a 0, below poor. This is a deal breaker.
What's great about it: easy to use
What's not so great: Forms not included in time for filing on time...

Online Vs Purchasing CD
on July 17, 2014
Posted by: ThinnerByTheCup
from Bradbury, CA
I have personally filed my own taxes for more than a couple years. Last year I filed my taxes online 2012, wrote down all my username, password, login, and pin codes for my husband and I. This year 2013, I made the HUGE mistake of purchasing the CD from the store, even though it gives me the option to file more than one Federal return. Which I didn't need. It didn't connect my previous years returns with the one I was filing for 2013. I had to manually enter information from last years turbo tax return.
It also rejected my federal e-file, but accepted the state with the use of last years pin number ... but I had to set a new one up in order to re-e-file my federal return. This really, really upset my husband for the delay in getting our return back.
Anyway, I will never make that mistake again. I will only file online and warn all my friends that I usually recommend turbo tax to not to make the same mistake I made.
What's great about it: I like how year to year everything is remembered
What's not so great: I hate how it doesn't connect your accounts if you happen to purchase a CD
