TurboTax has been a good experience for tax filing for many years. This year, however, had an upset because I had to do it over again. I was preparing to file the first attempt when the TurboTax program got locked up as I was in the process of creating a PDF file. Nothing would work so I had to manually shut down the PC without going thru the normal Start shutdown procedure. When I restarted, the completed tax package was gone. The only choice was to start over.
What's great about it: Better than using the old pencil, paper and calculator approach of years ago.
This is the second year that I have used TurboTax. I find it easy to use and I appreciate that the previous year's info is transmitted over to the new tax year. I recommend the use of TurboTax
What's great about it: Straight forward and easy to use.
e-file wasn't successful at the end. Message said that I needed to have the latest update loaded. I updated both my computer and turbo tax with the latest updates and it still didn't e-file and the same error message comes up. I have a Mac that is fairly new. This was very frustrating to me as this has worked for me the previous year in 2012 with turbo tax. I still don't know why this wouldn't e-file so I am leery about using this program next year.
What's great about it: good program except for e-file at the end
What's not so great: e-file didn't work so I had to mail it
A 20+ year user of TurboTax is happy once again. The Step-by-Step interview process makes it very easy to enter the needed data and spit out a return. My only complaint is that some tax situations such as small businesses, real estate investments and the like are not always conducible to the interviews. Otherwise, it's almost effortless. Now, if we could only make the tax code simpler........
What's great about it: Integrated Interview System
What's not so great: Complex Issues are not easy to solve with the Interview Process
It's hard to imagine getting the forms wrong if you've got your information handy - the only impediment you'd ever have is not having kept track of all the stuff you should've kept track of regardless. Great product.
Some of your nomenclature could be clearer. And I don't like the fact that you add apprehension by acting like you won't submit a return if the FEd doesn't have a form ready.
I filed an amended return last year and you didn't pick up the changes I entered. I had to print it and send it to the fed on paper but I used your program to file the and you must not have incorporated the amended information into our tax file. I had forgotten to include the long term care expenses into the deductions section and did that on the amendment.
What's great about it: fairly quick
What's not so great: I filed an amended return last year and you didn't pick up the changes I entered. I had to print it and send it on that
