TURBOTAX 2013 THE WORST I HAVE EVER USED
on January 28, 2014
Posted by: Mikej1950
I WORKED MORE THAN 3 HOURS TRYING TO GET THE AUDIT DEFENSE OFF OF MY RETURN. I DIDN'T SUCEDE!! IF YOU PROVIDE A SERVICE I NEED TO GET OUT OF IT WITHOUT JUMP THROUGH A TON OF HOOPES. POOR DESIGN.
What's great about it: SAME AS LAST YEAR
What's not so great: I GOT TRAPPED BY AUDIT DEFENSE AND HAD TO PAY FOR IT BEFORE I COULD E-FILE
I've been using Turbo Tax software by Intuit for a few years now. This wonderful piece of modern technology is so easy that any computer literate person can use. This honestly saves paper for printing. I really love that each CD bundle can be used up to 5 times, so sharing is easy and actually helps network the greatness that is Turbo Tax! From 1 to 10, if I could choose 11, I would extremely recommend Turbo Tax to everyone I know!
What's great about it: Straightforward prompts, clear and concise questions, intuitive layout, flagging feature, "explain this" links
What's not so great: Updating software not automatic
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
TurboTax has made preparing returns for me and my family so easy I haven't even looked at any other product for years. I can put information in as I receive it and go back to finish when ready. Simple.
What's great about it: Option to navigate on my own or use the automation.
What's not so great: Can't efile all year, only for a few months.
My only compliant is the difficulty I have in looking up worksheets from prior year returns. The forms themselves are available. I sometimes need to see the worksheet to see where the numbers came from. 2 years ago I was ready to quit Turbo tax. Last year was some better, this year still better. Always room for improvement. As a bonus lower the price of filing a state return. I only have to file a state return because I filled a federal one. Have been mailing state return but this year paid the fee and sent it in as it is less trouble.
What's great about it: Great improvement over last year
What's not so great: Still don't make it easy to see or print worksheets
This year's program provided the best experience yet in my over 15 years of using TurboTax. I truly appreciate all the helps and the smooth operation of the program.
I have a comment re the "Few More Details" - I have kids, but they are grown and not living with me. Since I am not sure what the data is used for (regarding kids), I selected "I have kids", but would prefer a third choice of "I have grown kids not at home"
What's great about it: The guided tour provided the easiest data entry for filing in all the years I have been using TurboTax.
