I like turbo tax and have used it for a number of years now, but found the e-filing and fee paying process screens a bit confusing. Thanks to the telephone help I received, I was able to file electronically. As for the questions below, I am retired and there is no place to show that. Also, our child is grown so we have no children at home.
An inexpensive way to tackle tax season head on with confidence. The step-by-step approach through each income source and deduction insured all of my applicable tax topics were covered. When I hit a snag, help was just a click away. The final check of the state and federal returns before filing gave me a thumbs up that all the calculations were correct. I've used the "Deluxe" product for years with complete satisfaction, every year. Thanks TurboTax!
After I'd finished with both the Federal and California tax forms, I decided I wanted to go back to change the amount of my refunds (I had refunds for Fed. & CA) to be applied to next year's taxes.
While I could go back to the Federal forms and change specifically that, there was NO way I could find to do that for the California forms, except go through the whole process from the start all over again for the state forms. I spent a LOT of time trying to find a way to change only that one number, and failed.
I've been using Turbo Tax for many, many years. This year's version was by far the best one. It was easy to negotiate and I flew through it once I had the information for input. Good job!
