Reasonable Cost
on April 9, 2014
Posted by: RichardSory
from Austin Tx
Lost me on sales tax with notification that a form was not ready. I finally figured out this had not been updated. Once I did the 8 minute update, every thing worked out
What's great about it: Instructions easy to follow
What's not so great: No notification in advance to update before starting

I was told to update my software in order to file. From the "online menu" I was supposed to "check for updates". Going to the website I found that there was no "online menu" that would permit me to "check for updates". It took some time before I found that going online to the site was not the best way to go online. I had to click on the software top menu. Finding this link took as long as it did for me to fill out my return.
What's great about it: Filling out the form was easy and pleasant.
What's not so great: I could not file my return.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

2013 Return
on April 9, 2014
Posted by: JimDesler
from Grass Valley, CA
I have used TurboTax for years - always on the same computer. All past return have been saved. This year I had to dig up numbers from past returns and enter them by hand. TurboTax should have done this for me.
What's great about it: Fast
What's not so great: Incomplete
Pros: I bought or sold investments

I have used Turbo Tax for 8 years and I like the fact that I know my taxes are filed correctly.
What's great about it: Entering the info and Turbo Tax completes the required forms.
What's not so great: Can't think of any.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

What happened to Turbo Tax
on April 9, 2014
Posted by: NowretiredCPA
from Vancouver, Washington
After many happy years of filing via Turbo Tax I ran into a real nightmare. TT would not update "missing" returns - including 1040 and therefore would not let me finish and file - so I found someone else who had the program and arranged to use their computer - but - so help me - my FINAL try of many many - the Upgrade FINALLY WORKED (about 2 hours ago) - so - as of 15 minutes ago I filed electronically without having to use the other computer. I probably tried about 15 times starting a few days ago until on 4/9/14 (my birthday!) it finally "came through" for me and I will be using TT again next year! - Duane Meador
What's not so great: Using Windows XP and TT Basic it WOULD NOT update forms
Pros: I bought or sold investments
