This is the fourth year using Turbo Tax. I like that it keeps a record of past tax returns so you can compare year to year. E-file is a great way to go and the price for state tax e-file is reasonable. All in all a satisfying experience to a dreaded chore. Nobody likes to do tax returns and at least this product helps ease the pain a bit.
What's great about it: Walks through each topic in easy to understand steps
What's not so great: Doesn't explain topics in detail
Needs to ask user to setup a file in the begining. My computer crashed 2 hours in, and I had to redo everything because program had not created a data file yet.
What's great about it: Good questions, easy to Navigate
The process is relatively painless. The import of previous year's data is essential and appreciated. The efliing is also helpful and straight forward. Review of file and checking for errors with help to correct is also a good feature. I am not sure how accurate the predictor for audits is but it is nevertheless comforting to see the dial in the green. The basic business features are adequate for very small or free lance folks without needing the burdensome details of the business filing software.
What's great about it: user friendly, import data correctly from previous year files
As always enjoyed using TurboTax (although I don't enjoy taxes). I recommend the length of the screen shot be reduced to alleviate the scrolling down to the continue button. Minor I know, but noticeable.
What's great about it: Ease of use
What's not so great: Form on screen a little too long
My wife and I look forward to doing our taxes with Turbo Tax. This is our eighth year using Turbo Tax. We usually get the Deluxe program and like how it automatically transfers all the previous info into the new year. After a year of keeping files on income, donations, prescriptions, medical, dental, etc. We have a good time on the cold nights of January and February putting this info into the proper places on Turbo Tax. We also like the import function to get info from financial institutions. It is good to know that this info goes into the correct area of the taxes.
What's great about it: Helps, Review process for errors, Effective Tax Rate, Updates
