Even though Turbo Tax does what it advertises, makes filing your taxes very easy, I like to follow where the numbers flow to and be sure I have entered everything I am supposed to. Older versions make this very easy, but the last 2 years, it has become more hidden.
What's great about it: Simplified the filing of our taxe returns
What's not so great: Cannot easily see where the calculations go
It was so easy to use. It filled in my information from last year to save the time of filling everything in. It was also nice to have it transfer the information from the federal to the state.
Overall it was easy to use and covered a lot of issues. It was almost too thorough to a fault. I learned a lot by using the program to check all of the money saving possibilities. Next year when I use Turbo Tax it will be even easier and quicker to complete and submit my tax returns.
What's great about it: Ability to go back and make changes.
What's not so great: Some of the broker downloaded data was slightly changed so it made it difficut to verify entries.
I have used Turbo Tax for several years. It gets easier every year. Not all information from 2012 return was accessed by 2013 return. It would have made comparison of data easier.
What's great about it: Simple questions that guide responses
What's not so great: None significant
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
