I really like the way that this is all set up. The whole program allows me to have the assistance that I need so I know that I am not missing anything. Thanks for the help and I am a lifetime Turbo Tax guy!!!!!!!!!!
What's great about it: great
What's not so great: no cons
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
This is without a doubt an easy-to-use program for those with simple taxes. It is a little difficult to review sections once they are completed, but this is a minor inconvenience. For those who want significant help without the desire to have a "trained" tax professional located at the front of a box store help, this is the program for you.
What's great about it: Option to lead or go directly to sections
I wasnt sure about after doing my federal taxes if property tax and church donations and intrest on the house made a difference because i got a zero when compared to last year. I went to do state and i think, it must have made a differance.
What's great about it: walks u through this. really really like the new tax history report, 5 stars!!!
over all, this year's Turbo Tax seemed slower and not as flowing as past years....not sure why, just an overall feeling....but everything works and works well
What's great about it: the step by step works fine
What's not so great: the save function should be a separate button
Whereas I like the ease with which TurboTax runs one through all the various elements of declaring one's taxes which saves hours of agonizing over a byzantine tax code unless one gives up and opts for the standardized deduction, I find a few elements linked to the tyranny of computer code. For one, it was impossible to declare a foreign tax credit. I found myself in a computer loop that didn't allow for any declaration of foreign taxes paid that would allow for the credit, despite having searched all allowable options. My only recourse here is to modify by hand my tax declaration to include those credits. I had the same problem with the 2011 and 2012 versions, and had to modify my tax claims by hand accordingly, but this requires sending in a mail form. It would be convenient for me if you modified the program to allow one to insert an amount of foreign tax credit (IRS has never contested my claims because I accompany bank statements that specify the foreign taxes paid). Otherwise the program is convenient and an enormous time-saver.
What's great about it: It's easy to use. It most likely finds me more deductions than I could find myself.
What's not so great: Foreign tax credits are impossible to declare. It works as a loop that sends you back to zero.
