need added forms for us expats
on April 1, 2014
Posted by: canukns
from Nova Scotia
As an expat living in Canada, we are very numerous...and need a lot of help with our US taxes, especially since every year the US taxes are becoming more complex for us. I suggest a version just for expats, maybe with built in audit protections, with special help for us. We need to file forms 5471 because of a small business, NOT in Turbo tax yet -- PLEASE ADD THIS form set, if only a copy that we can fill in so we can eFile!!!! Also, it would be great to get more help with the 1116, especially for the adjustments needed for qualified divs and capital gains. Could you have a place to tick that a dividend/interest is foreign upon entry, so TT could add up & calculate your real percentages and also adjust...
What's great about it: easy to use for US based
What's not so great: lacks 5471, enough help for 1116 etc etc

problems

from Grapevine TX
When I selected e-filing the system reported that there were more software changes that I needed to update. I had only just done this before processing my return, but went back and repeated the download and update. The same message came back, making it necessary for me to print my return and to expect a slower refund.
What's great about it: wording of questions is very clear.
What's not so great: Unable to e-file

Done!

I am a retired accountant and have used several tax prep programs since then. Turbo Tax is closer to the professional software I am used to using from an ease of use and a logical flow of data standpoint. It also allows me to go in and enter only the information pertinent to my situation and does not require me to go through every screen.
What's great about it: Ease of use

Turbo Tax has improved every year I have used the program, which has been for years. The only chore in completing my taxes is the accumulation of all of the required information, not Turbo Tax.
What's great about it: Step by step is the easiest way to complete our taxes
What's not so great: None that I can think of right now

An early tax modeling version could be valuable.
Since I am retired and have a variable income involving Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) and IRA ==> Roth conversion opportunities at year's end, it would be advantageous to complete a preliminary return and model several different year end scenarios by December.
What's great about it: straightforward and direct.
What's not so great: start earlier with preliminary (estimated) model, Direct download from financial institutions makes me nervous.
Pros: I bought or sold investments
