Excellent

I've used TurboTax for probably 20 years and it always helps to ease the pain of filing. I always procrastinate when it comes to doing my taxes. Who doesn't, right?
The feature I love the most about TurboTax is that once you get started, it's hard to stop. The program takes you step by step through your tax preparation. If you're missing a document, it's really easy to come back and revisit an area, fill in the missing information and continue on.
Another thing I like about Turbo Tax is that it helps me uncover deductions that I may have forgotten about,
helping me maximize my refund.
helping me maximize my refund.
I wouldn't go without TurboTax and it allows me to feel confident that I didn't need to consult with an accountant or tax preparer.
Thanks TurboTax
What's great about it: Always a dependable stress free way to finish an annoying task - taxes.
What's not so great: Nothing here I didn't like.

I had a Federal return and 9 states! It would have been to hard to copy over all the Fed info by hand to the states. TT did it all for me.
What's great about it: Easy, thorough, carries over prior year's info
What's not so great: Expensive for extra states software and efile
Pros: I moved, I bought or sold investments

I must state that I appreciated what Turbo Tax has accomplished in the development of this sincere product. I also want to highly thank and offer appreciation for the representative that informed and guided me through the thicket of the area that discussed investments, SS-R, and 1099-MISC sections. She was tremendous. All in all, Thank You !!!

Saved My Bacon, As Usual

My wife opened a new business in 2013, making our tax situation much more complicated than ever before. We filed an extension knowing it would be challenging to complete our return, and then I procrastinated until nearly hitting the October 15 extension date. Although it took me a few days of receipt-sifting and Excel cranking to get everything prepared, it only took me a single day to get the return itself completed, finding us a tax refund due to education credits even though we had a negative net income for the year due to the business losses. Short of hiring a CPA, TurboTax is by far the best solution to getting your taxes done smoothly, quickly, and accurately.
What's great about it: Rather thorough interview process walks you through.
What's not so great: Brings up omissions during review and error check that would seem to be catchable during initial data entry.

Easy to Follow Instructions; Easy to Use
on October 15, 2014

I have used TurboTax for more than a decade. It is easy to follow and it provides helpful tips if you need them. IRS forms and guidelines are just a mouse click away. It calculates your tax owed or refund due as you work through your return. Peace of mind is important with this kind software. I trust TurboTax to be correct in its calculations. I can rest easy once my return is filed.
My only frustration is that when you return to add information to a portion of the return you have already worked on, you then have to progress through anything you already worked on after that section and re-answer the same questions. (Thankfully, it does save any figures you already entered.) I would love it if there was a button you click on that would take you back to where you left off. Otherwise, a great product.
What's great about it: Intuitive, logical progression through return, easy answers a click away if you have questions, easy eFile, error check
What's not so great: If you have to return to an item, software won't skip over items already entered when you resume entry
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Makes my most hated job a lot more bearable.
on October 15, 2014

I dislike all book-keeping and especially hate doing my taxes, so the fact that TurboTax even makes it bearable means it's really a pretty good product. At one time I paid an accountant to do my taxes, but now I use TurboTax and it takes about the same amount of time (most of the time is just collecting the documents you need) and it's a lot cheaper.
The questions are generally pretty clear, and I especially like being able to switch to the "forms" view so that I can see what the program is doing with my numbers.
What's great about it: When I get sleepy and make mistakes, TurboTax catches them.
What's not so great: I still have to keep good books for my business and remember where I put my W2 forms.
