I had used Turbo Tax years ago, but then had a small business and went back to my CPA. That proved too expensive, my whole return was his fee. This year I decided to do it myself. Enjoyed it.
What's great about it: easy, even I could do it.
What's not so great: "Special Depriciation Allowance" not done, it was found in check-up.
As many would, I e-File my federal return and print-File my state return. Instructions appear to push towards e-filing both returns. Wading through the instructions for printing the state tax return it appears that the return is formulated into a PDF file but nowhere is there a mention that the PDF file needs to be printed for transmittal. I was not able to directly print the pages of my state tax return. It was difficult to work through this last year but is even more confusing this year. On that issue I would give you 1 Star or 1/2.
What's great about it: Preparing tax return gets easier
What's not so great: Filing instructions are confusing and hard to follow
The format for estimated tax paid seemed harder to use. Also I had trouble bringing over IRA receipts from the Federal forms to the State of PA forms. Although both Husband and Wife's data was entered exactly as shown on the respected 1099R forms, the results showing up in the State (PA) form were different. Until this year I have always enjoyed using TurboTax.
What's not so great: I had more trouble this year after 5 or 6 years of TurboTax
