No simpler way to do taxes other than turning everything over to a CPA and paying a large fee. Being able to start and stop filling out the return whenever I like is a big plus; this enables me to avoid stress of having to do everything at once.
What's great about it: Easy to follow instructions. Feel confident that return is being done properly.
Love Turbo Tax but used on line version last year and had problem with my payment to IRS direct debit did not work then this year went back to using CD disk and it could not down load info from online version I used last year,
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Could not get program to upload info from cloud version I used last year
Everything started out great with my TurboTax experience. However, when I tried to e-file my federal return after completion, I kept getting a message that a return with the same SSN had already been filed. Checking on the status of the transfer showed that my return and not been transferred. I finally just printed the return to mail it. The state return e-filed just fine.
What's great about it: User friendly
What's not so great: Would not e-file federal return
I really like Turbo Tax and have used it 6 years or more. I feel confident the return is calculated accurately. My only problem is submitting Gas Royalty Expenses. Once I figure it out, its easy. I just can't remember from one year to the next how I do it. Maybe more instruction would be helpful.
What's great about it: Really easy to work through the sheets of information
What's not so great: Every year I have trouble entering Royalty Expenses.
