I have used Turbo Tax Deluxe for the past three years and I love it. What I love about this soft ware is it STET BY STEP GUIDANCE and Audit Risk meter. I feel very comfortable to use it. It check my return constantly for errors. I will not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.
What's great about it: You don't have to a tax professional to use Turbo tax.It is very easey to use.
What's not so great: none
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
i've been using TurboTax for many years now and have always been highly satisfied. while the misc. charities input has been simplified it now lacks identity of the recipients. the MRD questioning re: my traditional pension from Ford Motor was confusing as were the following screens. stating that these pension distributions not being MRD was "not common" forced a phone call to State Street. this was not 'user friendly'.
What's great about it: michigan return handled simultaneously, imported Janus 1099 info a help
What's not so great: why the MRD questions re: a regular pension? you've not asked before
I enjoy using Turbo Tax each year. It is simple to use and very reasonable price wise....... I find that so far it has been able handle any tax situation I have needed it to....... Great program.
What's great about it: Very easy to use. Very complete. Makes what once was a real pain a lot less of a pain
This year's taxes were relatively easy. The only real problem arose from residing in West Virginia but having a job in Virginia (neighboring states - residence about 20 miles from job site). The instructions for this situation were confusing - we ended up filing a completely unnecessary state return for VA in order to complete my son's return. For my return, the system somehow generated a bogus "amended" return form - I was able to delete it and complete the return, but this should never have happened.
What's great about it: Relatively easy, progran walks you throuhg income and expense/deductions
What's not so great: Instructions for having income in one state while residing in another are not clear
This is either my 13th or 14th year I've used Turbo Tax and they seem to improve it each year. The one thing that does bother me is when you have a problem, the first response seems to be that you need to upgrade to the next level of product. But if I have been using this for all these years, and it worked then, why do they push an upgrade? More money I'm thinking....
What's great about it: Step by step system is easy to follow. Deluxe downloaded version allows me to enter small business tax info.
What's not so great: Is not clear on how & what to enter for multiple Schedule K-1's.
