Makes tax time easier
on March 29, 2014

Either I am getting better at understanding tax jargon, or TurboTax is getting better at helping me understand it. I don't think it's me. I have used TurboTax for many years. Last year I felt a bit confused with some of the things it was asking me. I felt that this year's tax return was easier on me because TurboTax recognized some things that were different from last year and helped me understand if I still needed to do something with that information. I like all the options to save and print the return, and different methods of payment permitted.
What's great about it: Downloads all my tax information, compares to previous year, quick
The price of the State electronic filing is a bit high considering it is almost 100% profit; costs Turbo Tax a pittance to electronically transmit information. This is the biggest negative, in my view, about the Turbo Tax experience. While Federal is 'free', State is too high!
What's great about it: Very thorough...step by step.
What's not so great: Should not have to enter the same information more than once!
Easy to use, each year it starts from last year's info so you don't have to enter everything, and uses it to ask about this years income, expenses, etc. Easy to add new items. Only drawback, it asks if you want to pay to do state taxes only even though I am in a state with no income taxes.
What's great about it: Easy to use, adds in last year's data
What's not so great: Asks me to pay for doing state tax return, my state has no income tax
Makes filing so easy, even with numerous investment transactions and business income and depreciation calculations. Been using it for years, and it brings my previous information forward so I don't have to hunt down previous records or fill in the same information each year. I have saved thousands in accounting fees over the years using Turbo Tax and will continue to do so!
This is our first time to use TurboTax -- why did we wait until now to use this service? We purchased the Deluxe edition to file Federal and State taxes this year. It will be the only way to file our taxes in the future. If you are thinking about using any other tax preparation service, try TurboTax first:you will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Entering data was a breeze.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
Turbo tax is easy to use but has gotten glitzy over the years obscuring entry on the forms which makes it harder for an old non-professional like me to correct errors. (Both yours and mine.)
Please correct the entry of long-term insurance payments that occurs in multiple places causing a double counting in the state return (and only God knows where else.)
What's great about it: I am used to Turbotax after 20 years of use
