I used to do the taxes in the kitchen. Papers all over the table. I'd wear out a pencil and big pink eraser, then I'd have to copy my work in ink for the IRS. A fat envelope full of paper had to be taken to the post office so the postage was accurate. Now I answer TurboTax questions and click the mouse. TurboTax is fast, easy, and doesn't keep me up at night wondering what mistakes I'll find tomorrow.
What's great about it: TurboTax is one of the very few things better than I expect it to be.
I have used Turbo tax for years now! I love how easy and user friendly it is. I like being guided step by step to ensure I am not missing any items. I love that they review and ensure my return is completed fully and accurately. I like following my running totals as I input data. Thanks for making the burden of filing taxes so easy!
What's great about it: It is so user friendly and there are great explination screens on items you are unsure about or complicated items
I have been using Turbo Tax for years now & I will never again pay a 'pro' to do my taxes. Turbo Tax walks you through each step much like a cookbook recipe. Each page has a "back" button to use if you think you made a mistake but, Turbo Tax will catch the mistake even if you don't. At the end of your return, it reviews for completeness, checks for errors, presents any errors found & allows you to correct them. Then it gives you the option to check again. You can save your return AND print a hard copy AND electronically file your return, all within a matter of minutes. What more could you ask?
What's great about it: Automatically imports data from previous year
What's not so great: Help section doesn't have all the answers
