We bought Turbo Tax so that we could e-file. After finally finishing our return, our returns would not transmit. Program suggested that we just mail it in. If we had wanted to mail it in, we wouldn’t have bought the program! When we looked at customer support, we saw that many people had similar problems.
What's not so great: Finally finished my return and it wouldn’t transmit; told to mail return!
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
Entering the return itself was a relatively simple matter. Directions were easy to follow and the process was organized in a logical manner. Entering the information and completing the return was great. I appreciated the review process at the end but was a less than pleased with the urging to upgrade and purchase more near the end.
What's great about it: The process was well organized into categories, easy to follow for most of the time, and help is available. Great produ
What's not so great: Too many adds for additional items at an extra cost. If wanted a higher priced version, I woudl have purchased one.
I have been using TurboTax for last 4 years. Eventhough I bought new home this year, I still went ahead with TurboTax because of the comfort level that I have with the software. Very user intuitive and have powerful user base for any clarifications.
What's great about it: Clear and step by step guidance
