Another year tax filing was a breeze!

Turbo Tax is very easy and intuitive software to use. I love that you can record your contributions in It's Deductible all year long, then bring them into your taxes. So easy!
What's great about it: Easy to navigate through software, can be guided or can pick how to enter yourself
What's not so great: Isn't always clear what is under each major category
I've used a CPA since purchasing my first house in 2009 to do my taxes. After a poor experience last year my wife and I decided to try to file on our own using Turbo Tax. It was very easy and $120 cheaper then our former CPA.
What's great about it: Very user friendly, clear, and concise
Fast and easy as long as I had my charitable contributions receipts handy and then had to find the mailing addresses for all of them. We do many of our contributions online and the mailing address is not apparent on the printed receipt -- but that is not Turbo Tax's doing.
What's great about it: I really like being able to import last year's info into this year's return and then go step by step
What's not so great: I didn't find a negative - but I had a tough time remembering my high school mascot!
I like Turbo Tax. Unless you prepare returns for a living, it will get you through your tax return with a lot of assurances that you are doing things right and not missing anything. This year Michigan changed its rules on pension income. There is limited grandfathering for Federal employees. The software can be used to fix it, but if fails to ask the question (its Michigan Schedule 1 Line 23 C and 23 F.
A great product. Caught you!
What's great about it: It asked almost all of the right questions.
What's not so great: Missed the special exclusion for Federal employees pension, if born in 1949
I could not file my one free State Return. Now I can't get Turbo Tax to print my State Return Filing Sheets so I can file, unless I rate Turbo Tax . Hopefully it will print after I finish this review.
What's great about it: Usually in past was easy.
What's not so great: Not easy this year, could not e-file my State 1 Free Return
Probably my 10th year using the product, so I know how it works and that makes it go faster. From showing last year's amounts from imported last year file, to asking situational based questions (new job, home office, etc) and automatically taking you to appropriate forms, the product continues to get better each year.
What's great about it: auto fill from last year, shows last year's amount next to this year
What's not so great: Having problem saving final file
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
I would highly recommend this software to anybody who like clear instruction, sound advice, and an overall sense of confidence in the process, you will be happy with TurboTax!
What's great about it: Questions and instructions were VERY clearly written. It was almost like having a live person sitting right there!
What's not so great: No cons! Well, I didn't get a cup of coffee like a real office has!
