Essentially an easy to use application in a straightforward tax situation. I have used Turbo Tax for 20 years and find it makes for smooth tax preparation.
What's great about it: Transfers previous year's data quickly and error-free, allows freedom to guide yourself,reviews your work,
What's not so great: Doesn't provide free state filing, asking a question sometimes does not get answered in the current format
I didn't like what we had to pay this year, but TurboTax kept it as low as possible. It made figuring my our estimated tax for next year Super easy. Being retired & working with various retirement accounts our income varies drastically year to year, but the program has made my life easier for years. Our adult children have all become TurboTax fans as well.
What's great about it: works you through all possible deductions. Helps you sort & organize your tax records.
I have found over the years the product has become easier specifically around the navigation, it has become much easier to go back to specific place. Skip items and then revisit them.
What's great about it: Clear, Easy to follow, step by step,
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
Overall, TurboTax is a great tool. I have been a user since 1991 and have never been disappointed in its performance. At times some of the new features are a little disappointing, such as, not being able to run the program from a user CD, something I did every year to minimize the loss of data from year to year. The new PDF system has made keeping files easy and has compensated for the loss of external running. I believe TurboTax to be the best on the market and will continue to get my yearly copy along with the newsletters. Keep up the good work INTUIT.
What's great about it: Quick and straight forward
What's not so great: Navigation sometimes a problem - Cng in one place not another
