I've been using Turbo Tax for many years and I was terribly disappointed in this year's release! Every time I clicked on a link to learn more information...NOTHING happened! I did not get any additional information. I'm very disappointed in Turbo Tax this year and really feel like I did not get what I paid for!!!
Turbo Tax is a FANTASTIC Value for the Money. I would recommend it to anyone who has their taxes professionally done. It saves time and money. It's convenient because you can buy it anywhere and use it anywhere. It keeps all of your info on file so if you choose to be a repeat customer you save tons of time not entering repetitive information.
What's great about it: Turbo tax has the answers to all my questions!
What's not so great: An option to cancel amoritizing and ammending if these options accidentally get selected.
I've been using TurboTax since the DOS days and some things never change. It is pretty good in doing my federal taxes but there is minimal help in filling out the state return. Also, it would be great if, for both returns, I could click on a line on the tax form and it would show me how they calculated the entry.
What's great about it: Excellent for doing my federal return.
What's not so great: Poor guidance on the state return.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
The program was very well laid out for those of us that are not familiar with the tax prep process. My husband and i were able to go through together with the limited information that we had and fill out all the appropriate boxes.
What's great about it: Everything was spelled out
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I moved
Turbo Tax is the Best! Always has the latest updates available and free Audit help. Free e-filing! Each year Turbo tax improves and makes your return easy to understand. Keep up the good work! See you next year.
What's great about it: Very explanatory - better than past years!
What's not so great: Sometimes did not go back to "where you left off"
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
