Screwed Up E-File
on March 20, 2014
Posted by: Anonymous
E-filed federal return. Was rejected because " SS numbers were wrong". Turbo Tax answer was to call Social Security and confirm numbers. I have the original SS cards and the numbers were the same as I have used for 63 years of tax filing. Refiled...same result...same advice from Turbo Tax. Finally filed via snail mail. Would hope beeter advice and help in place by next year. A phone number to talk to live person would help.
In general good, but I do not like the grammar of the questions. The questions should also be in bold print just before the answer click. One discovers surprise conclusions from Turbo that one did not anticipate. It is difficult to review one's work without having to re-answer each question.
I don't see how anyone continues to do taxes manually. Compared to my neighbor with similar tax requirements who insists on manual tax preparation, I have twice the forms prepared in one tenth of the time.
I use Quicken to help track the data required for most input especially deductions. The tax summary from Quicken saves me a bunch of time.
Another bonus is the program "It's Deductable". It's easy to fill in and great to transfer to the Turbotax program.
I used to pay $2-300 for tax preparation and about ten years ago found I got better results with this program.
What's great about it: Carryover from previous years getting all the Fed, State and local in one package
Some years ago I made an error and the State of Iowa caught me on it. Turbo tax helped me fix it and I enjoy seeing how ins & outs of tax law and deductions, etc. change. Although I have not cross compared it with other products, a coworker of mine said that TT gives you the best refund-- which we have also enjoyed over the years. The expert advice has also been helpful, we have saved hundreds every year with this software.
What's great about it: Rolls over info from previous year and reviews return before submission
What's not so great: Forces me to look up some arcane data off of prev return without showing me or suggesting an entry
I have continued using Turbo Tax for the last 8 years or so. I have been pleased every year with the ease of transferring files and having them saved right on my computer for viewing as well.
What's great about it: Easy to transfer information from previous year
I found Turbo Tax to be very helpful and easy to use. It helped me figure out difficult areas for deductions and how to get the best refund possible. I also like the e-mail federal tax feature--very easy to use.
What's great about it: easy to use and helpful information
What's not so great: advertising for additional services like audit insurance
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I moved
