Turbo Tax actually makes doing taxes easy! I can keep my information organized throughout the year and then just enter it as the program walks me through each step. If I have a question as to why I don't qualify for something I can usually find the well-written, easy-to-understand answer in just one click. I've been using TurboTax now for about 9 years and can't do it any other way!
What's great about it: transfer of prior year info, the help feature, review and assessment at the end before I file.
What's not so great: this year I used the software instead of online and transferring info wasn't as easy as expected.
This is the first year that I've tried 2 states together with the Federal, rather than one through TurboTax and the second state by hand. What a mess! I couldn't get the forms to jib and they changed each other's entries.
What's great about it: It was great until I added a second state, then disaster
What's not so great: NJ return messed up NY return
Takes too long to edit and review as the software asks me the same questions every time, can't skip them. Don't like being asked if I want audit defense mulitiple times as an example. I do like the ease of having the data entered from the previous year. I don't like being asked if my dependents own a house, have kids, etc. Can we skip some of these questions that don't apply to very many people?
What's great about it: Consistent year to year
What's not so great: too long to get to the right places to enter some data (income, deductions)
In each of the various sections for making entries, the customer should be informed that additional less common forms are available via "search topics" menu. In my case, the "Income" and "Schedule A, Miscellaneous Deduction" sections needed entries that were not solicited during my first pass through the program.
What's great about it: Form 1041, K-1 was available to allow me to enter beneficiary information
What's not so great: It was not obvious that less common forms like the K-1 were available.
I have used Turbo tax for many years to file my taxes and have always been more than pleased. I did use another named software once because it was a bit cheaper, but you get what you pay for!
What's great about it: step by step intuit is wonderful
What's not so great: no assistance on state IT SBD
Easy to use. Asks all the questions to succeed in the process. Have used TT for many years & I'm always pleased. Not necessarily with the refund, but with the process.
You wanted my user name and password. I don;t know them and when I tried to bring up the help screen nothing happened. If I get a state refund next year, I will mail the return and avoid your handling charge.
A really bad mark.
What's great about it: Program itself was very clear and easy
