Deluxe Edition... Federal program worked great...then TurboTax would not download State Return. It kept looping through commands. We called Help Desk- Tech Support and after about an hour we did a manual download. All was well until we tried to E-File Federal Return. Again it would not download needed software. Again Tech Support helped us for over an hour. Finally we were able to E-File our return by manually downloading the update. I must say Tech support was very helpful, but it would have been nice not to have needed them. We are both literate with tax and computer issues. All of our problems were software issues out of our control. That was frustrating. If not for that, TurboTax would get a thumbs up!
What's great about it: general accuracy of program
Turbo Tax calculated everything correctly. We thought Turbo Tax had made an error. After checking with tax experts and the state of PA, Turbo Tax was correct. It has not failed us and we will use it again. Our taxes are probably slightly more complicated than most and we used Turbo Tax Deluxe without problem.
What's great about it: Straightforward, accurate and simple
What's not so great: None
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
This experience with Turbo Tax was so frustrating I will probably pay the extra money and have my taxes done professionally next year. I was lucky to have my son here to help me with all my updating problems. Plus I didn't realize when the updates were ready because I did not get an email as stated and the program was showing they were not available even when they were! So frustrated I wanted to scream. As for adding a picture because it speaks a thousand words... the picture I would like to send is not appropriate. I did notice on the help pages that many were having problems I hope that will motivate TT to fix the problems for next year.
What's great about it: Transferred my info from last year
"17_Emily B" was the best expert and online support. Not only did I have a great conversation with a REAL person, but she was able to explain things to me in a way that consumers can understand.
What's great about it: I got a great tax return!
What's not so great: I couldn't answer my question without help
