This was a good program to use, I would suggest that if you can provide a free download of the program that the PDF works with. most programs give this in case someone does not have the software on their machine. Also, if there is a fee for state do not tell the user they get one free state.
What's great about it: Very good details on Schedule K-1 information
What's not so great: You talk about 1 free state yet i am charged a fee for the state
I am a retired minister. Like many other retired clergy, part of my retirement pension is considered "housing Allowance" and thus non taxable. My 1099-R comes with box "2a Taxable amount" blank and box "2b Taxable amount not determined" checked. The TurboTax program instructs me to enter the data as it appears on my 1099-R, but the only way I can find to make TurboTax compute my taxes correctly is for me to enter the proper amount of my Housing Allowance in box 2a. TubodTax needs to provide an instruction for retired clergy to do that or it needs to crate a new screen for retired clergy to enter enter their housing allowance if it is not already reflected on their 1099-R. If that were corrected I would rate TurboTax with 5 stars.
I have used Turbo Tax for about 20 years and it gets easier to use each one. I found the process to be simple, concise and easy to accomplish. I cannot emphasis how much I appreciate Turbo Tax and their software; thanks Turbo Tax!
What's great about it: simple to use, quick and exacting
What's not so great: can think of a one!
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
The only issue I have had over the years is that I do not need the estimated tax vouchers, I tell the program I don't wish for them to print, yet it always waste paper and ink by printing them.
What's great about it: Very thorough
What's not so great: Prints forms you don't need and didn't request.
Easy to use, especially since our taxes aren't that complicated. Some of the wording/help files aren't that intuitive, but that may be just because a lot of the fancy stuff doesn't apply to our situation, so I don't know much about them.
What's great about it: Pretty easy to use.
What's not so great: Some questions were a little weird in the wording.
