As usual, I had a very good experience doing my taxes with Turbo Tax. However, on the prompt asking me if I got first time homebuyer's credit, I accidentally clicked yes, and then couldn't figure out how to remedy the problem, even after referring to the help section. Instead of banging my head against the wall, I just had to start over. Disappointing.
What's great about it: easy to follow promps
What's not so great: Click a wrong box and you have to start over to correct it
There's really no reason to try to save a couple of bucks on some "other" software to do your taxes. If you want it right and with easy to follow explanations, just stick with TurboTax. I tried a "famous" tax program last year and it was a nightmare. It started out great, but then there was a problem and I couldn't go forward. I tried e-mailing and calling, waited on hold for over an hour and a half, then got a response that someone would contact me within A WEEK. What? I had one question about a PROBLEM with their program. When I did get a call, 6 days later, the guy was clueless. So, I just ate the money I'd paid for that program, bought TurboTax and finished my return the next day. No brainer.
What's great about it: It works! No glitchy stuff and easy to follow.
What's not so great: Hmmm...can't think of any. I used other products and this one is by far the best.
The program was very intuitive and easy to follow for both beginners and those who know tax preparation. It could be improved by adding a comparison tool that allows a screen shot view of the refunds for MFJ vs, MFS
What's great about it: The program is very easy to follow and also allows the opportunity for experienced people to move at their own pace
What's not so great: There was no option to conduct a MFJ vs, MFS comparison within the return
Overall this is a very good product for completing your tax return. The product is very thorough covering all of the items that I have needed in years.
What's great about it: Very thorough. Allows me to do return quickly.
What's not so great: Difficulty sometimes drilling back into a previous entry for deduction
