Look, Turbo Tax takes so much pain out of taxes that it is worth the cost every year. The only problem I have is that taxes are so bleeding confusing and take SO LONG to do, it is a major brain drain. Can't this be automated IRS?
What's great about it: Imports data from everywhere
I have always done my own taxes, since my first filing in 1970. For many years, I've used TurboTax and obviously, it was so easy being walked through the process. I was also confident the filings were correct.
Not once during my years using TurboTax have I been audited or even contacted by the IRS. Several times, the income for my wife and myself fluctuated year to year. The change could have been very significant and would normally be questioned by the IRS. Using TurboTax, these fluctuations were NEVER QUESTIONED! Thanks TurboTax!
I've been offered the opportunity to have "professional" tax preparation several times but while it would have saved an hour or so, I decided to continue using TurboTax even when the offers were free. Thanks but no thanks.

I'm a volunteer tax preparer with a VITA/TCE program and the software we use for that is way more difficult to use than TurboTax. TT's step by step approach puts everything in the proper place and asks questions about things you probably wouldn't think of yourself. And with the tax code of today it would be difficult, if not impossible, to do a return with pencil and paper.
On the con side: it's pricy, especially the 25% increase in the state filing fee. But still, it's well below what you'd pay for a professionally prepared return. Also it seemed to me that TT asked some questions it should have already known. Perhaps the info carry-forward from last years return isn't as robust as it used to be.
But all in all, I'll be waiting in line to buy it again next year.
Love the guide that takes you through every possible income catagory, (just in case I forgot something). The best is the guide through the deductions. Great job to make sure we took advantange of all the possible deductions we were entitled to! Thanks for assisting with providing the values of charitable items for donations. Thank you for such peace of mind. Turbo Tax is awesome. I call you the Turbo Tax Geni. Taxes made easy and accurate. How great is that?!
What's great about it: So easy to understand and follow
