I love using Turbo Tax. It is easy to use and saves us money since we have a easy return to do. I tried other programs and got confused. That's what happens when you try to say a few dollars.
What's great about it: How easy it is to use
What's not so great: None
Pros: I moved

TurboTax as consistent as always
on February 9, 2014

I've used TT Basic for years; it's always served me well. Standard W2s, Schedule Cs, Itemized deductions, all handled cleanly. Now I've retired, W2s are being replaced by 1099-Rs, self-employed income and expenses, still all handled by TT Basic.
What's great about it: Provides all the guidance needed by virtually everyone for federal returns
What's not so great: State return prep is too expensive, and state efiles should be included with the federal returns
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

from West Des Moines, IA
This was my first year filiing for taxes as an independent and was a little nervous on how to do it. TurboTax was a great experiences that allowed me to qualify for a great return and was very simple. As long as you have all the correct paperwork on hand, taxes are very easy to complete with this program..and I even used the Basic edition.
What's great about it: Simple, Fast, Affordable
What's not so great: Repetitive
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Business deductions a pain
on February 9, 2014
Posted by: Daryl23
from Knoxville, TN
I wanted to write off a computer that I purchased specifically for my Software Engineering and consulting business. (headquartered out of my house) However, Turbo tax forces me to declare my home as a business office and demands that I write a portion of it off as an additional part of my business deduction(s).
All attempts not to get into long term depreciation of my home proved fruitless. I was forced to simply throw away my deduction for an expensive new computer System, and to then delete the forms.
RECOMMENDATION: It would nice if TurboTax would produce an itemized report of income and expenses entered like the average individual does when gathering information for data entry ( this way we might not forget an item). Or maybe it could produce a blank, itemized, Husband-Wife- Children "columnar" work sheet which would permit gathering information in the same order TurboTax asks for it. ( This way we might know in advance that we should separate eye glasses from other medical expenses)

What's great about it: Does the math and fills out the forms.
What's not so great: As a once a year user, the software is always difficult to roam arround when checking various topics.

The only way to do taxes
on February 9, 2014

from Vicksburg, Mississippi
Been using Turbo Tax for many, many years. I keep going back every year because it is simple, easy to understand questions and so fast and efficient. Printing was a little confusing, mainly due to my new computer not have Adobe Reader, but it was very easily fixed and I am done with my taxes already!!
What's great about it: easy to follow; just answer the questions
What's not so great: printing was a little confusing
