Turbo Tax Wins Again
on March 11, 2014
Posted by: MVWoolner
I tried H&R Block software last year - big mistake. I expected the same degree of thoroughness and flexibility (step-by-step or form-only) as Turbo Tax but was disappointed. In all areas Turbo Tax was superior. Perhaps part of it is that I have used Turbo Tax since the days of DOS (that sure dates me) and I am comfortable with it. Even considering that, I am believe that someone using a tax preparation software package for the first time would find Turbo Tax by far easier to use. Not only would a brand-new user find Turbo Tax easier, he or she would also feel more confident that the return was done correctly.
The only criticism that I could make was with the details involving e-filing. The tax year before last (2011) I almost filed late because I did not know that I had not completed by e-filing. I got to the point of printing returns and thought that the filing was complete. Fortunately I caught the mistake before the deadline. Perhaps some type of flag to let the filer know that there are a few additional steps.

What's great about it: Great explanations, thorough step-by-step instructions, flexible, abundant prompts and cautions
What's not so great: Notice that electronic filing is complete or not
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments

Tiny Bit of Confusion At The End
on March 11, 2014
Posted by: Longone
This is a good straight forward easy program even for this super senior. The only problem I had was getting a printed copy of both the federal and state tax return after filing. Back tracking is simple re-checking any form entry that you may not recall when not doing the return at one setting. The costs are reasonable and there is only a minimum of ads or other distractions.
What's great about it: Easy to use and comfortable using this program.
What's not so great: As the title indicates I had a little difficutly on getting a printed copy for my records.

Federal Taxes with TurboTax
on March 11, 2014
Posted by: ColoradoMicky
TurboTax helps cut thru all the federal bs and makes taxes quite simple. I remember the days of getting a fat book in the mail and filling them in by hand. Turbotax fills in half the form with info from last year's form, explains all the entries, and it has further online help for any further questions. My taxes aren't overly complicated, but TurboTax keeps me from having to read tons of government publications to catch changes in the law.
I'm convinced TurboTax has saved me plenty by telling me about changes in the tax law from year to year that I would probably miss if I were doing this by hand.
