I have been using Turbotax for the last 14 years and have continued to appreciate each year how much the pain and labor of doing your taxes especially over the old hand calculated method is so much easier using TurboTax. The simple question and answer approach is friendly and yet there are links within the text to explain nearly everything you don't understand.
What's great about it: Super fast and easy.
What's not so great: The price seems to creep up each year. You have to trust the program actually works.
Despite having to pay taxes this year, this is still the best way to do taxes (at least for me!) Been using Turbo Tax for the past 5 years now and will continue to do so in the future.
What's great about it: Easy step by step instructions
What's not so great: None
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I moved
If you just file a simple return, this is the way to go. I would think more complex returns would be just as easy though. The explanations are excellent and we never feel like we've missed anything.
What's great about it: Ease of use.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
As usual, Turbo Tax walked me through every step including a State return without any problems. So far, Turbo Tax has been able to assist me on every issue where I was concerned. I will definitely continue to use Turbo Tax!!
What's great about it: Easy to follow instructions with follow up on questionable entries.
I've used TURBOTAX for more than twenty years, and consider it to be the best way to do taxes that I am able to find, though I quit looking after the first year I used TURBOTAX. I am ninety years old and the program suits me just fine, and the help is good when you need it.
I needed to pay for elecrtronic transmission of one of my returns, and because I had forgotten the password, spent four hours trying to arrange for my credit card to pay for the transfer. I finally used the telephone and got things straightened out.
What's great about it: Got my taxes done
What's not so great: HAD TROUBLE BECAUSE I FORGOT MY PASSWORD AND IT TOOK A LOT OF TI ME AND THE HELP WAS EXCELLENT.
