tried to update as recommended. Updates failed on numerous attempts. Had to access help info to determine procedures to fix. Had to direct connect router to PC to successfully complete updates
when i went to try and live chat with someone.. the system was off line.. after my taxes were rejected and needed some corrections to be made, the system was prompting me to pay again for state taxes... not cool!! I paid once... then they demanded to pay again in order to resubmit.. i went ahead and printed and mailed them in... not too thrilled at all:(
What's great about it: its quick and efficient
What's not so great: it wanted to bill me twice for state... not too happy about that...
I prepared my 2012 returns using Turbo Tax. The 2013 software asked if I had filed using turbo tax in 2012 but it couldn't find the return since I had used another computer. I retrieved last year's file and copied it to my current pc but I couldn't get turbo tax to look again for the 2012 file. I reached out to the help community and couldn't get this question answered so I had to manually reference the 2012 data.
Have used Turbo Tax for years. Occasionally get confused with instructions. For example, I filled out everything but one missing piece of information. I had no trouble in adding it to Federal, but it was not clear that I would have to edit the state portion again. when I tried to say it was complete without clicking the edit, I was in an infinite do loop.
What's great about it: Mostly easy to use
What's not so great: personal property tax portion difficult to understand
I am a long time TurboTax user. I enjoy the interview style questions and all of the built-in and on-line help features. This year my wife started her own business and I thought it would be impossible to do the taxes myself, but TurboTax guided me right through it with no trouble.
What's great about it: Easy navigation, clear explanations
Program ensures you are not missing vital info. The only issue I have ever had (I use Turbo Tax every year) is that it always asks for info pertaining to my wife regarding being self employed. She has not been self employed for several years.
