I kept on getting a message to correct a retirmentment issue, but Turbo Tax would not let me <click> on the issue to find out where it was.....it too a LONG time to determine where the issue was
What's great about it: Easy to follow the steps
What's not so great: Not given option to go to area in need of change/work
Overall TuboTax has be a very usefull and easy program to use. It walks you through and asked questions according to your input and previous years returns.
What's great about it: Walk through and comparison to last years returns are a great tool.
What's not so great: Cost can be purchase locally for less money than the auto renewal.
There is a bug in the e-file procedure for Mac users. You get an error message that there is an update you must install before your e-file can go through. So you go for the update and then have to repeat the e-file dialog. Then you get the same result. After two tries, I went fishing on-line for information about this situation. That wasted an hour. Finally, decided to shut everything down and reboot. That was the answer. THIS IS A BUG IN THE SOFTWARE. So, the simple e-file procedure DOUBLED THE TIME SPENT ON MY TAX RETURN.
What's great about it: 2 hours to do my tax return
What's not so great: 2 hours to figure out the e-file and work through the Mac bug
I use Turbo Tax every year. It's easy to use and even imports previous tax return and financial information. Also if I only do part of the return when I come back, it picks up right where I left off. I recommend using Turbo Tax.
I've used TurboTax since the early 1990's and have watched it improve over the years. There are a few "foibles" that I run into from time to time.
This year it had to do with Charitable contributions when I zipped past the part where one enters mileage for travel to/from a charitable organization donation site. I hadn't calculated the mileage for each charity so I said no when asked the question about other expenses or whatever it was. I then later went back to enter the information but I was not given the opportunity to say yes and enter the data. I worked around this by going to the "Forms" view and entered the data directly into the forms. I guess the lesson is to have everything ready the first time...but who ever does that... not me!
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: More difficult to go back and enter information
I have used TurboTax to complete my federal and state returns for the last several years and have always found the software to be user friendly, accurate and easy to use. I would recommend this product to everyone.
What's great about it: Software easy to use, great help features and self explanatory
