Overall I highly recommend TutboTax. I have been using it since the mid 80's when the medium for the program was a 5.25" floppy! I always let the program walk me through each section. This way I catch any new things going on with my Fed and State returns. I only wish it would do my form 37 for my RITA taxes correctly. This is the second year in a row that it did not properly prepare the form and would not allow me to clear up the errors myself without continuing to call my attention to those errors. Someone needs to look into this. As with last year I went to the RITA site and had no problems entering the data to successfully complete my return.
What's great about it: Successfully walks you through Fed and State filing.
What's not so great: For the second year in a row it did not properly prepare my RITA tax form.
What can I say, I have been using Turbo Tax for the last 10 years or so. But for some reason this year was not as clear with instructions as I remember. Also I haven't been able to print my returns yet. Hopefully I'll be able to once I get thru this review process!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's great about it: I was able to file both Fed and state
What's not so great: seemed to be a lot more confusing this year to use
Always have had a good experience in years past but things were missing in the Oh form. I needed an accountant and then filed online though the state website. Very easy! Sorry
What's not so great: trouble with OH...had to get help from business accountant
As has been the case in previous years, doing my taxes again this year was about as easy as preparing and filing as could be. That is assuming you can read and have a basic understanding of the assets you have and what kind(s) of income the assets generate. It took a very short time to prepare all the necessary forms once I had received the tax informs from the payers. TurboTax has made the process very understandable. I have now prepared and filed my taxes for many of the past years. I plan to continue to use it again next year.
What's great about it: Made preparing and filing my taxes easy.
