Overall, this program is quick and easy to use for someone in my situation. I was a little mad I couldn't load it onto my laptop, but my laptop has been having issues with Windows, so this wasn't too shocking. Once I had the program running, however, it was very simple and I was very pleased. Hopefully, I will get my refund just as easily.
What's great about it: Quick and easy once I got it to work
What's not so great: couldn't get it to load onto my laptop, had to go to another family computer
After thirty plus years with Turbotax in one form or another (Basic, Deluxe, Premier, or Home and Business), 2013's tax experience went smoothly as always.
At this point, Turbotax Basic now does what I need done -- even though we have a dozen or more stock dividends each year, a regular sale of mutual fund stocks for retirement income, and a gross income of $160,000.
Since it's been a while since I used one of the more expensive editions, I can't say that it might not be even easier with one of them -- but for me now, Basic is more than sufficient. (I'm no longer running my own post retire-retirement business that was one of the reasons for my past use of other Turbotax versions.)
I don't use Turbotax's state program because Connecticut has its own online format that's simple to use with Turbotax data from my Federal Filing.
Can't imagine why anybody would require more than Turboax to prepare his/her taxes, and I recommend it highly for all taxpayers
What's great about it: Easy to use overall, accurate and dependable.
What's not so great: Occasionally, for me at least, some imperfect understanding of relationships among different forms.
