This is the third year I used TurboTax to complete my mom's taxes. With its questions-and- answers format, it has been very easy to use. This year I had to file her final return and again, I had very few questions. TT could have been more clear about whether I could "certify the accuracy of the claim" for a deceased and e-file, but everything seemed to go smoothly.
What's great about it: Very easy interface
What's not so great: Unclear at some points if filing for a deceased person.
Two of your techs helped me today. The first spent a great deal of time helping me make corrections. He was so patient, friendly and helpful. The second one also helped with a much smaller problem. She too was patient, friendly and helpful.
As I said, it works well the same year after year. When you look at a specific form to see what actual data is required, you are left hanging as to how you get back actual tax document. It would be nice at the end if it tells you that there is an error if it would take you back to the actual form so you can see exactly where the error is. Showing a box and asking for a number is not very useful.
What's great about it: Works the same year after year.
What's not so great: Moving from forms back actual taxes is a pain.
I've been using TurboTax for the past 13-14 years and it's always made tax time a breeze, except for getting all the documentation I require together and organized and ready to go. I keep all "tax oriented" documentation together and in one place so even that made overall preparation simple. I really like that, if I have a question about something, all I need to do is click on the hyperlink that takes me to the answers. Another positive is the checks and double checks before committing to an action.
What's great about it: Ease of navigation
What's not so great: Not a thing wrong with the program!
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
Occasionally TurboTax ("TT") transfers amounts or displays amounts that are not intuitively explained. If you had more explanatory comments with the actual reconciliation in pop-up boxes or side notes it would help.
What's great about it: Easy to use, accurate.
What's not so great: A bit deficient on informative comments.
