Sure beats my old way of doing it on a real mainframe computer as I did in the 60’s. When we had to revise the program every year to keep up with the IRS changes.
Then we did it on Lotus-123, which was before Excel
I've been using TT since it first hit the PC world
What's great about it: I find the FORMS View simple
I have been using Turbotax for over 5 years now, and it is still the quickest way for me to file my returns. I like that if you need it will walk you through all the steps, or you can go on your own if you feel comfortable doing that. Thanks!
What's great about it: This is the easiest way to file a return
I have used several Tax software products before e-filing existed. I've also tired different products with e-filing. I always come back to TurboTax. Its the only software I recommend.
What's great about it: Easy to use. Walks you through each step.
This was my first time doing my own taxes. Turbo Tax not only made it so easy for me but also made it fun. I enjoyed doing my taxes and watched the refund number in the left hand corner change! I will use Turbo Tax every year!
What's great about it: So easy.
What's not so great: Nothing!
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I moved
Turbo tax has made filing taxes as "painless" as possible. Transfer of prior year data and uploading W2s from the internet minimize typos/errors. Asking the right simple questions leads to the proper deductions/credits. Great tool. Keep up the good progress and simplifying the ever increasing tax code. Your only competition is the flat tax and tax reform.
