Turbo Tax 2013 - Olympic GOLD !!!!!
on February 9, 2014
Posted by: COJones
I've been using this software for over a decade (15 years) and I'm an IT guy by career. I do computers and software for a living. Wrote my own budget years ago. Never had to write tax software, especially sine the tax code changes EVERY year. You guys ROCK !
What's great about it: simple , yet complete. The only fun part of US Taxes
What's not so great: there never are ANY cons !

Turbo Tax is so simple to use. I have been using it for many years. But, I do recommend it for beginners, they just have to follow the steps.

What's great about it: Fast and easy, but thorough
What's not so great: who likes doing taxes?

The only way to do taxes

Been using Turbo Tax for many, many years. I keep going back every year because it is simple, easy to understand questions and so fast and efficient. Printing was a little confusing, mainly due to my new computer not have Adobe Reader, but it was very easily fixed and I am done with my taxes already!!
What's great about it: easy to follow; just answer the questions
What's not so great: printing was a little confusing

Business deductions a pain
on February 9, 2014
Posted by: Daryl23
I wanted to write off a computer that I purchased specifically for my Software Engineering and consulting business. (headquartered out of my house) However, Turbo tax forces me to declare my home as a business office and demands that I write a portion of it off as an additional part of my business deduction(s).
All attempts not to get into long term depreciation of my home proved fruitless. I was forced to simply throw away my deduction for an expensive new computer System, and to then delete the forms.
RECOMMENDATION: It would nice if TurboTax would produce an itemized report of income and expenses entered like the average individual does when gathering information for data entry ( this way we might not forget an item). Or maybe it could produce a blank, itemized, Husband-Wife- Children "columnar" work sheet which would permit gathering information in the same order TurboTax asks for it. ( This way we might know in advance that we should separate eye glasses from other medical expenses)

What's great about it: Does the math and fills out the forms.
What's not so great: As a once a year user, the software is always difficult to roam arround when checking various topics.

Fast & Easy
on February 9, 2014
Posted by: KathyB41Bowers
The process was very easy and only took a few minutes. It would have been nice on one page to mark the type of income and expense we had rather than having to go through all the types of income and expenses one by one.
What's great about it: It was very easy to complete just by answering a few questions
What's not so great: I had to answer questons about items I knew I didn't have.
