Weak State Tax Questions
on April 2, 2014
Posted by: SantaFeDave
I have used TurboTax for at least five years and have downloaded my W-2 successfully. This year a new on line site was identified and required some code that was supposed to be on my W-2. I was able to log into that site directly, view and print my W-2 but it did not have the secret code to download into TurboTax making me enter all the data manually. Someone failed totally with this one.
Turbotax did not ask if I had made estimated state (NM) tax payments when doing that return. When I saw what I owed, I went back and tried to see where in the directed steps I should have entered this data. Couldn't find a place to enter this data. I went over to forms and entered the data manually.
The rest of the process was generally straight forward but I will consider another software package based on reviews not loyalty as I am going to an updated computer and will have to transfer files from the old hard drive anyway.
Need to be able to choose boxes to e-file Federal and mail State on the same page at same time. . Instructions for mailing to state of Nebraska need to state that 1099-R and 1099-Misc are only to be attached if they show a "State tax withheld" (per a phone call to Nebraska Department of Revenue)
I've used Turbo Tax for over 10 years now and I've always been very pleased with how easy it is to use. I love that I can e-file and get feedback quickly on whether my return was received. This year was my most difficult year using turbo tax; when filling in information about being a business owner, I had a hard time figuring out my status and the "community" was not helpful, my questions went unanswered, and I had to figure it out on my own. This was incredibly time consuming and frustrating. However, Turbo Tax made up for it by walking me through making corrections to my returns when they were rejected after I e-filed and helped me re-file without charging me a second time. I am a Turbo Tax fan and will continue to use/recommend this product.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
We print our returns on 2 sides to streamline for filing. Estimated tax vouchers are printing back to back making them unusable. There should be a way to get our vouchers to come through printed on only one side without going back through the program to find the forms to print them one at a time. Also, they should be able to be printed 2 per page.
There were refund opportunities that I never would have found on my own! I was skeptical about these refunds, but after researching each one, I found they were legitimate.
