Don't be afraid to try TurboTax out. It is really easy and if you don't understand something there is always a way to get an answer fast. Be organized before you start and this will be a breeze. I saved hundreds of dollars doing my own taxes versus the cost of a CPA. I should have done it sooner and I would be thousands of dollars ahead!
What's great about it: This was a breeze. Turbo Tax makes it so easy. It took me about 3 hours .
What's not so great: I liked just about ecerything. I got caught up on finding out our pin numbers but then decided to put last years AGI.
Your product is very detailed but your greatest asset is your staff. I have unusual matters that I have to deal with but your agents always manage to talk me through it. Both Anitrus who helped me today and Amanda R. who helped me last year are outstanding agents. I trust you realize their value to your organization.
I prepared this return with both Turbotax and another program on the IRS free file website- The results were identical. Turbotax was more convenient when filing my state return
What's great about it: Accurate
What's not so great: none compared with other programs
I found the software easy to install and use. Every step was clearly explained and I was happy with the results. The only improvement I would recommend is a "go directly to finish" when the income information entered shows that standard deductions will provide a "0" tax liability. It would have saved me a little time entering deductions.
What's great about it: Step by step clear and concise walk through of the process.
Having moved to Alabama several years ago, and different tax laws, I used a CPA . Having used Turbo tax several years ago, I have returned to a well known and respected tax preparation product "Turbotax", and not only reduced my expense in preparing tax forms, but also have relearned to process and filed them myself.
