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.
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.
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!
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
While the program is very easy to complete and follow, I was very disappointed that I had to make additional purchases in the middle of it. When I purchased the CD, there was nothing labeled about additional charge if I chose to complete and file state taxes! Not cool!
