Really appreciate being able to download 1099s from my financial institutions.
I do volunteer work preparing tax returns. In that role I must use different tax prep software. TurboTax is far superior to that product. I wish the IRS would ask you to provide the software for this volunteer activity.
Filing for the first time since my wife died, I was apprehensive as to how filing would go. Turbo Tax quickly eased all my concerns and walked me through the return with little difficulty.
What's great about it: ease of entering info and knowing what to enter
I've used Turbo Tax since sometime in the mid 90s. I find the newest version a pretty good update. I do taxes for my Mother in Law and for us, I can clearly walk her through the system so she understands what is going where and why.
Captures the unusual expenses and tax breaks for my wife who is a member of the clergy.
Will use this again
What's great about it: Captures both usual and unusual events
What's not so great: Not many
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
I've used TT for years and I trust it's accuracy completely. It does annoy you by taking so long to open it - every time you open it. But I feel so much more relaxed and at ease when using TT than I did when I did it manually with no extra outside help. Inner peace is beautiful thing!
What's great about it: Very accurate, thorough, and reliable
What's not so great: Looooong time to open-everytime! Always a 3 minute update and then another long reboot!!!!
Long & short term investments are obvious by dates. Why does one need to choose the proper category ? Turbo Tax should do this to avoid errors. Why do dates of "sold" for "monthly distributions" need to be individually entered? Distributions from 8 funds over 12 months is 96 entries !! Why should this be necessary when the "proceeds " and "cost basis" amounts are entered ? These amounts are what is used in tax calculation.
What's great about it: A good way to do your taxes in an organized manner for reference
What's not so great: Schedule D & 8949 NOT intuitive
