When I file as Head of Household, why on the Federal return you have me put my spouse name and SSN, but then on the Minnesota state return, it says cannot override and/or must be blank. I can't electronically file with these errors. So then I go to the Federal return and remove spouse name and SSN (the source of the data) and then finally I can file electronically. This is a big pain! So, I filed, but now I don't if my federal return is correct due to missing the name and SSN of my spouse.
What's great about it: Overall, I like.
What's not so great: Spouse Name and SSN on state return
I've used TurboTax for many years now and really love it. It has a very friendly user interface and walks you through every facet of filing your return(s). Since our return changes very little each year, I really like the way it shows you what you did the previous year, as that helps my feeble mind remember where I should be seeing/making entries for the current year!
What's great about it: Easy to navigate and walked you through every facet of filing taxes.
What's not so great: Had a couple of annoying glitches, although it was nothing that effected the final result
I have used Turbo Tax for many years and it is always simple and I don't have to worry about making adding or subtracting mistakes. It walks me through each catagory and reminds me if I have forgot anything.
What's great about it: I liked the way it walks me through each catagory so I don't forget anything!
This is a great program and has helped me do my taxes for several years now. This program not only organizes your information once entered and carries over from the year before, but teaches you what information is needed and what information can be used each year for preparing for doing taxes. I appreciate TurboTax and the time and money it saves me in completing my family's taxes myself.
Thanks TurboTax!
