Turbo tax was very easy to use except when I went to electronically file. For NH, there is no State form that needs to be filed, but for the federal form to go thru electronically, it needed a state employer id # (box 15). This box has NH listed, but no state id#. I only found out how to get this to go thru by googling it on the internet. For NH, boxes 15, 16 and 17 need to be left blank so the software doesn't check for any of the info not needed...It would have been nice to have turbo tax either have a pop up about that or default to blank for NH.
What's great about it: Easily walked thru all inputs
What an excellent program. TurboTax is the only way to file your returns quickly with absolutely no fuss. I love the checks at the end that go back and ensure every box is filled correctly, then it checks everything for you yet again and displays your audit risk factor. Definitely beats the memories I have of my parents filing returns by hand, for days, with hundreds of pieces of paper kept in shoe boxes each year. Keep up the great work TurboTax.
What's great about it: So easy with no tax experience or knowledge necessary
This is the second year we have filed using Turbo Tax and we are just as happy as we were last year. The fact that it carries over information from last year is nice and saves time entering data. Last year it took us about two hours to complete. This year just over an hour. We used to go to one of the major tax prep companies where it took hours, little privacy from their other customers, cost hundreds of dollars and we rarely got a refund. After getting positive reviews from friends and family we decided to give Turbo Tax a try and are very glad we did. I would recommend Turbo Tax to anyone that asks me.
What's great about it: low cost, asks all the right questions
I have been using TurboTax for a number of years. The process seems to continually become smoother and efficient. I always come away with the feeling TurboTax wants me to receive everything I deserve. The process is thorough. It's also easy to go back to a previous category to edit or review answers. The e-filing is great also. I highly recommend TurboTax!
What's great about it: I like the thoroughness of TurboTax.
