Overall, I would recommend this product! I got an unexpected amount of money I probably would not have found doing them myself, especially when I am a full time student.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
It seems to me, maybe it is just me, that each year, TurboTax becomes a little more difficult. I have been using it for 6 years, and it always throws some monkey wrench that has me backing up to verify and re-verify what I have done. At this point I haven't finished my state, i.e., I haven't printed it our for mailing. After I emailed my FIT, Turbo sent me to your feedback... I would like to complete everything before moving on. Also, the page asking if I wanted to efile both... it gave me an option to hold the state, but it didn't give me an option to NOT efile the state... hopefully, that comes now. Give me the option of reviewing my forms as I work on them. Also, for some reason, this year's TurboTax couldn't find last year's filing to download the pertinent info. 'Nuff said.
Overall, a good product and experience, but need improvement with the recalculation of prior year's return to determine impact of state tax refunds paid in current year. Turbo Tax should add this to their product so user doesn't have to manually do it themselves,
This is an excellent tax preparation tool. It captures your past images from the previous tax year which I find to be valuable. It also alerts you to changes in the tax laws. It also has built in functions where you can review the actual IRS tax form. It contains the necessary information to make good decisions about what option to choose to get the most out of your choices for tax reporting. The only thing I don't like about the software is that on some instances it does not return you to the previous screen. It also allows you to update your tax forms and software from the company's website. Overall, It has continued to meets my needs in the area of federal and state tax preparation. I have not tried any other tax preparation tools due to the fact that this software tool is getting the job done for me.
I was able to complete the return with relative ease until it was time to file and print. I e filed the federal return and wanted to print and send the state. e file was easy but to print the state for mailing was difficult. Had to keep going back. This should be made easier.
