I love doing my taxes with Turbo Tax. The questions guide me through areas which I am unfamiliar with, yet I can skip the questions and go directly to parts of the form with which I am familiar. I would recommend this to anyone who does taxes, their own or someone else's. This program will do the job whether the user is a complete novice or a tax professional. It is user-friendly, fast and accurate
What's great about it: This program is excellent. it allows me to quickly complete and file my return.
I've been using Turbo Tax for four or five years now and will continue to do so. However, as someone who is familiar with taxes I'd like the option to work from the tax forms instead of the landing pages. In other words, I'd like to go to the line on the tax form and click to go to the respective page and research materials.
What's great about it: Great "step-by-step" process
What's not so great: Doesn't have a click from lines on forms to worksheets
My child needed to file for the first time due to dividends and capital gains, which I really didn't understand. Turbo Tax Basic made it easy for me to do by walking me through each step and automatically transferring most of the information I needed.
What's great about it: I was able to quickly transfer info from 1099-B and 1099-DIV. Directions were fairly easy to understand.
