Every year I use TurboTax to do my federal taxes. Every year the program hovers on preparing my state income taxes. Which is always problematic, since we don't have a state income tax. I wish the program would more easily bypass this for those of us that do not have a state income tax, have no intangible assets and do not own a corporation. It also had a problem in describing my Health Insurance options, I found the descriptions in the program unclear. All told these problems were minor, encompassing about 1 percent of the time I took to fill out my taxes.
I would recommend this program to others.
I like this program a lott and have been using it for as long as I can remember.
What's great about it: Made entry of almost everything easy
What's not so great: Unclear about what type of medical insurance I had.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
Used TT for a decade now, both onshore in the USA and offshore from Australia (as a US citizen). Would love to see more tools for folks like me filing from offshore, i.e., allow foreign credit cards (to pay for TT fees). Also, stronger advice for foreign filers would be great. The foreign tax credit section of deductions is very awkward and difficult to figure out. Still, great product. Wish they had a version for Australia.
What's great about it: Intuitive, quick
What's not so great: Still not geared toward foreign filers
The charitable listing of to whom I made contributions, having to list each one and their address seems , to me, to be more than necessary. Why can't the listing be aggregated?
