I've been using Turbo tax for several years and it improves every year. Customer service and tech support are very helpful and patient. I would definitely recommend Turbo tax to everyone.
What's great about it: Easy guide and Step by step prep
What's not so great: Should specify the pros and cons of desktop and on-line software

Every year I use TurboTax. As I've gotten older, I've found that the questions really jog my memory and I'm able to access all the deductions I qualify for. Thanks!

Turbo Tax made it easy

I feel extremely confident that everything was covered and that I'm receiving the best refund possible. Every page had a clear explanation, and it had the feel of someone speaking to you and walking you through the process. There were several opportunities to get questions answered and even to purchase Audit protection, if you want.
What's great about it: Questions lead through the whole process, no worries about forgetting something.
What's not so great: IRA sign-up a little confusing.

Foreign Tax 1116 Is Really Awful in Turbo Tax
on April 13, 2014
Posted by: brianrsmithtx
from Colleyville, TX
The Foreign Tax Credit portion of Turbo Tax is truly awful. I could not figure out how to cancel out a mistake I made. I had to go back to an earlier saved version of my return and start this part over. FORTUNATELY I HAD SAVED ONE AND DIDN'T OVERWRITE IT WITH MY MISTAKE! The instructions are unclear. Why should you have to enter things in a specific order? This is the age of computers! Why can't I fix a mistake? AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!!! Fix this!
What's not so great: I could not correct an error.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Massachusetts State Tax - Be More Honest!
on April 13, 2014
Posted by: brianrsmithtx
from Colleyville, TX
After spending a lot of time on the web looking things for Massachusetts requirements over I learned two things: 1) My daughter doesn't need to file because she doesn't make enough money. I sure would have been ticked off if I had bought the package from you for Massachusetts and then found out she didn't need to file because she didn't make enough money. You could have saved me a lot of time if you would have told me that up front. I think your software should be able to tell me that. 2) Massachusetts has a free online package of its own. Might not be as good as yours, but maybe you could let people know? Not very honest on your part.
What's not so great: You try to sell Mass tax kit even to people who don't need it
Pros: I moved
