Trusted for years
on April 12, 2014
Posted by: sharonkj

I have trusted TurboTax for years. It makes a difficult tax better. It helps clarifiy the forms, checks my math and sends my information electronically. It costs far less than having someone else do it for me. I would not know how to do my taxes without it now, especially since my life has changed and tax laws of changed. I love TurboTax and more than that I trust it.
What's great about it: Knows all the right questions to ask. the program is very patient as I find the documentation and have to make updates.
What's not so great: It cannot always give me a refund.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Too dumbed down, too many useless questions.

Overall too many useless questions. I spent time answering many questions and then find answer is does not apply or you do not qualify (not even close !!).
Med deduction first question should be "does expense exceed 10% of income". Itemize deduction first question should be "Do itemized exceed $12K. Education expense first question should be "is he a college student:.
Please give some high level/what if/trial tables before require the details.Especially on deductions/credit. Use the info provided so far (ex income, age of dependents, ....) to determine if the questions are relevant.
What's great about it: Importing last year
What's not so great: too many useless questions

My Turbotax experience
on April 13, 2014
Posted by: SonnyGentry
from Memphis, TN
When I tried to e-file, file didn't go through due to "updates required" although I had just updated. I had to close Turbotax and then re-open it (iMac) before e-file would work.
Often, too many steps were required to go directly to a form I wanted to work on. I'd like to be able to open Turbotax and go directly to a form.
Overall, a fine program. I've used it many years now.
What's great about it: Generally very good
What's not so great: Some problems
