Turbo tax is a great product for the typical filer. I have used it for years and appreciate that W2 data is uploaded from employers, past income data and deductions are there from the year before. It takes away a lot of the work of researching things on the IRS website. I did my taxes in a few hours, and it would have taken less time had I done the prep work with gathering things from past years and pulled my bank documents sooner.
What's great about it: asks you all the questions as you go so you won't miss anything
What's not so great: doesn't explain forms and exceptions to income
Have the screens stay where you are currently entering a group. Or have the screen work from the top instead of the bottom. All this scrolling to get to the bottom of screen is a waste of time.
What's great about it: Very good step by step.
What's not so great: Have the screens STAY where you are, Instead of having to scroll back down to the bottom of the screen to pickup,
Very easy software to navigate through. Great links provided for clarification. Streamlined e-filing. Very inexpensive compared to brick and mortar Tax Services.
What's great about it: Very Easy to Use
What's not so great: Initial load failed and then locked up my computer
Turbo-tax has been my go to for the last few years! It allows me to stop and restart when I want. Vs going to a tax place you must have all doc. ready to go before going in and, then wait your turn. I have many different deductions that take a bit of calculating and this program has made this job so much simpler! Thanks Turbo-Tax!!!
What's great about it: Can go at your own pace, go back and corect any info.
