I have been using Turbo Tax for several years now. Every year I feel more confident that all the bases are covered and that Turbo Tax knows all the right questions to ask to get my largerst refund available. Again, thank you.
After the user enters all the data from their 1099s (dividends, qualified dividends, capital gains, etc.), the effect this has on the Fed tax should be briefly explained to the user. I kept looking up the tax in the tax Table based on the taxable income listed on Form 1040 and it was significantly higher than what TurboT was listing. The reason for the lower tax was evident on the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet which wasn't apparant until after everything was filed. TT should give one of their pop-up comments by line 44 of the Form 1040 entitled "why is the tax not the same as listed in the Tax Tables?". The pop-up would explain that some of the dividends and/or capital gains which are a portion of line 43 (taxable income) are not taxed or are taxed at a lower rate.
Updates initially caused mac to crash. Once that issue was resolved then I was unable to file returns electronically. Just may be time to switch products for future years.
Got tired of paying accountants and services. Even though you have to pay for state e-filing, its still much cheaper than any of the major tax filing services
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
