Turbo Tax is very easy to follow. You get the benefits of many years of expertise. You reap the benefits of many others in getting the most bang for your bucks.
Thank you!
What's great about it: Turbo Tax is an easy way to prepare taxes.
Never heard of a 1099-G, but TurboTax said I needed to input it. I didn't think the info provided by TT was clear enough. Also, kids inherited, the AMT tax kicked in, and TT's exlanations were still not clear enough. Some" IF -THEN" scenarios or flowcharts may have helped.
What's great about it: Previous year return transfer, did identify 1099-G info
The software is intuitive and instructions are very clear. Really do like the importing of last year's data as it saves time. HIstorical comparisons with other years was useful to me as an initial indicator of any gross errors or omissions that I may have made.
What's great about it: logical process for data entry
What's not so great: can't think of any
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
