excellent program to prepare taxes
on March 30, 2014
Posted by: aemisi
an excellent way to prepare a tax return, I have been using TT for 23 years now and it keeps getting better and better.
What's great about it: options and flexibility, very intuitive
What's not so great: too much detail that does not apply to a tpical return, maybe have an option to reduce the detail?
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Good job, but the software had serious errors
on March 30, 2014
Posted by: EmmasMom1
I found two serious errors. 1. The program miscalculated the amount of state tax paid last year, doubling the actual sum. I had to manually input the correct numbers. 2. Using the step-by-step, I entered the employer's contribution to business expenses, but the data was never saved in the proper field. Every time I reopened the file, I had to re-enter that information. I finally got smart and put the data in the correct field manually and that solved the problem.
I have used Turbo Tax for years and have found it to be a solid program. This is the first time I've discovered errors.

What's great about it: organized, for the most part it got the info in the right places
What's not so great: the step by step is very slow and often doesn't ask the right questions

Tax Filing

Over all program is easy to use.
What's great about it: Step by step directions and guidance.
What's not so great: Confusing directions for "Rental/Royalty" entries. Had to take a break and come back to finish.

Good, but one error
on March 30, 2014
Posted by: Rowley
Everything was positive, except for the error relating to a Mass. tax credit carryover. This was probably an error in a previous year's form that resulted in a carryover credit (Septic Credit, Mass Form SC) from 2012 that should not have been allowed since the total credit amount had been used up in the previous four years. After checking the previous year's tax filings and confirming that no carryover was available, I was able to delete the form and prevent a credit from being claimed for 2013. If not caught, this probably would have resulted in an audit.
What's great about it: Covered most items well with good explanations
What's not so great: Apparently an error was made on a previous year's form

Efficient, esp with the duplicatative AMT calcs

I have been using TurboTax since 2008. I like it in that it pulls info from previous years filings (account names and addresses) as well as the import feature (good for investment accounts). Also I like the ease of recalculations if you miss something and enter it later (problem if done by hand). The one downside is that it is sometimes difficult to identify what has been entered elsewhere (charity taken as payroll deduction and reported on W2; Medicare Health insurance premiums entered under Other Income and reported on Schedule F). This is only picked up if you read the "?" details
What's great about it: Carry forward of previous years entries; import of forms
What's not so great: Sometimes difficult to understand if things have been taken into account elsewhere
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Easy as Pie

I think Turbo Tax is a wonderful aid for preparing and filing personal income taxes. It really is very easy and I consider it a trust worthy option.
What's great about it: The work is made easy by transferring previous information.
What's not so great: There was no discount offered on the price of the software at the location from which I purchased my copy.

Relatively easy

None that I can think of. Delay of investment forms this year didn't help, but that was not your fault.
What's great about it: Transfers from Last year and from Investment companies
What's not so great: None

Frustrating, would not validate. program did not indicate why. After much looking found a recommendation to reboot and this helped. seems to be working now.
reviews indicate this is a problem when using a desktop mac.
