$013 Turbo Tax Review
on November 15, 2014
Posted by: Whydontuchoose
I've used Turbo Tax for many years for Fed & CO state returns and prefer to return to it each year. I usually "guide" myself through each section rather than use the "Turbo Tax Guide Me" process. I'm almost always able to find an explanation for confusing Federal tax issues in the internally linked "Explain" or "More info" provisions. It's very annoying that I cannot use the program's calculator in the " Add Supporting Details" boxes ... that tool should be made available in the next version. Sometimes the process of correcting mistakes found and presented for handling after the program performs its "review" is overly cumbersome and it seems to me that earlier versions of Turbo Tax were easier possibly providing better explanations of really just what is the issue and making it easier for the user to go to the initial/ original location or form where the incorrect entry was made. It seems as though this 2013 version did not return the user to the exact point where s/he may have suspended entries when restarting and returning to the program to continue working in Turbo Tax. Overall a very good tax preparation software for the experienced user.
What's great about it: comprehensive, easily followed, straight forward
What's not so great: can't use calculator in "supporting details" windows, lost supporting details when entering state sales tax amounts
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments

Start on time but always files late
on November 10, 2014

Almost every year I start with plenty of time to file my taxes, but somewhere between the beginning of the tax season and the end of the tax season, I get distracted. What is good about Turbo Tax, they suggest alternatives for me to consider when filing my late return.
What's great about it: gives me options when I miss filing deadline

Slightly Upset

My husband is working in Afghanistan and qualified to file 2013 taxes until six months after he returns. I decided to go ahead and pay our 2013 taxes before he even returned from Afghanistan. I was unable to access all my information, which was a little irritating because I had to pay more money and then reenter everything!!! Maybe leaving access to everything until the end of the year or leaving it open forever would be a better choice.
What's great about it: Have used for over 10 years and love it
What's not so great: I was not able to look at my 2013 work I had completed in order to mail my taxes at a later day.

Long-time User, since MacInTax days

We had a very complicated year in 2013, but with all the questions 'Easy Step' asks, I was confident we covered everything correctly. It is really helpful when TurboTax carries forward all the pertinent numbers until they aren't needed any more. Nothing "falls through the cracks" or is forgotten when one has been using this software for a long time! (e.g., credit for Alternative Minimum Tax paid, capital loss carryover, etc.)
In 2010 I finally convinced my 91-year-old father who had been doing his own taxes by hand for over 70 years (!) to let me do them using TurboTax. The first year was a bear putting in all his data, but he had kept such excellent records (re: depreciation, etc. - he had run his own business since 1939, and they rent out part of their house to help cover real estate taxes), now it is easy for me to do each year...he is now 95!

What's great about it: I like being able to switch between 'Easy Step' and the actual forms, and I like the topic list.
What's not so great: Wish the program wouldn't print out all the cover pages and payment vouchers when saving a hard copy for our records.
Pros: I bought or sold investments
