was caught in a loop with my state return. the program said I couldn't e-file my federal because I hadn't done my state, but I didn't have to file a state return. It tried to get me to buy a state return product, but again, confirmed that I didn't have to file. Finally figured out that if I just told it I would file my state return myself (even though I wouldn't) I could get to the federal e-file screen. there should be a button that says - don't have a state return to file at all.
What's great about it: simple download of info from brokerage
What's not so great: caught in a closed loop on state return that didn't need to be filed
Have used for many years . Easy to use and understand . First used for my business sold it and use it for personal taxes . Great software . Thank you for Turbo Tax
TurboTax takes away the fear of filing taxes, especially for first time filers. It's very detailed and goes through each item in the most layman terms possible. I was not aware of the extra costs for state taxes forms and filing though, wish i had known in advance.
What's great about it: Very detailed, held-hand approach to tax filing.
What's not so great: Wish i was informed about State Tax extra frees
