I have used Turbo Tax for many years. My returns aren't difficult. I also do my Sister's. Her's is a little more complicated. Retired Civil Service. I used to complete hers by pencil and calculator. For the last two years, by importing the previous year, it fills in all the calculations I used to do by hand. I would recommend Turbo Tax if you don't have a "Tax Brain".
I tried using a website that someone with financial know-how pointed me towards, but it was giving me a headache. I gave up trying to use the website, and decided to purchase this. Though I didn't like having to purchase a program to do my taxes, it was a bit less confusing. I wish there had been a little more clarity when it came to the education questions. I had graduated last year and i didn't really know exactly what I Needed to enter. Neither my college, or turbo tax explained it to well. I will be using this program again next year. At least I wont have to worry about dealing with college questions next year.
What's great about it: Easier to understand
What's not so great: How expensive the program was
I have used TurboTax for several years and have found it very easy to use because it steered me to what I needed to do next. This year, my last year's return was not on the computer so everything needing an entry had to be hunted for. I used my paper copy of last year's return to be sure I wasn't missing any areas--but had to use the help screen a lot to find out where to put things.
What's great about it: The help system is excellent and was a life saver for me.
What's not so great: I had to hunt more to be sure that I wasn't missing something.
Have used Turbo Tax for several years now and found it more than adequate even for minister's filings which are somewhat more complicated than normal filing.
What's great about it: ease of filing and using last years information
What's not so great: when editing, had to remark some of the questions over again. somewhat redundant
