I've used other forms of tax preparations, but I've found that Turbo Tax is by far the simplest, fastest, and affordable tax tool out there on the market for the average tax payer wanting an option of a very basic, straight forward solution to anyone's tax needs. I've used this format for several years now, and I would gladly recommend it to anyone preparing their annual taxes. Great tax alternative!
What's great about it: Quick, simple, affordable, and accurate tax format.
What's not so great: None
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
I'm not sure if I understood how to do the 116 form. I shouldn't have to upgrade just to get this right. I'm a bit offended by the upgrades as I didn't expect that with my subscription. I guess I didn't know you had made this change. I'm thinking about all of this and not sure how I feel about it. for one thing I can't remember what I paid in the first place and then getting hit with the new money just to get the form right???? Also the audit check is gone. that was helpful, but again I'm not sure what I paid so mauybe I should have upgraded. Legt me in the lurch for the first time ever. Otherwise the product is exceptional.
What's great about it: I have been a Turbo Tax customer for years
What's not so great: I got confused on the correction for form 116 and the new charges
Not as used friendly as previous years. Unstable, glitchy. Had 6 separate software updates in a 4 day span. Final update said it was ready to file via "Electronic Filing", but would not allow transmit because it said I needed another update. But, when I checked for updates, it said none available….so, caught in a continuous loop.
What's great about it: Easy to use, but more software glitches than last year.
What's not so great: Kept needing to update, but would not allow usage after about 6th update became unstable.
