Love using Turbo Tax
on March 29, 2014
Posted by: nhsmily
I have been using Turbo Tax for 10 years now and it is so nice to know that I can depend on it to do my taxes! So easy to use and I love the fact that it keeps my prior year information and brings it forward the next year.
Disappointing experience this year. The program crashed multiple time while doing the return, but was able to recover from where it left off. Very annoying that the sales tax calculator did not work and the program tried to blame it on the IRS. After several update attempts the sales tax calculator started to work but some screens did not seem to know the sales tax deduction was now in the return. Some questions and items were misleading and raised questions in my mind about the accuracy of the return. Overall a bad experience and I certainly not up to the quality of prior year products.
What's great about it: same appearance as previous versions
What's not so great: sales tax calculator was missing, did not update on first use
I have used Turbo Tax for years. It fits our needs quite nicely, as it has addressed all the major events in our lives that impact our tax situation. It helps find overlooked deductions and advises which deduction method is best for your particular situation. I will always use Turbo Tax!
What's great about it: So intuitive, like sitting next to a tax professional
I've been with Turbo Tax for over fifteen years. Each year it gets better. Not only are the obvious questions forwarded, but the items most people don't realize or forget about are brought into light. This program really has made my dreaded tax preparation much more palatable. It's the friendliest tax person I've met to date. Thanks
What's great about it: Easy, complete, into the nicks and crannies of taxes.
What's not so great: A little repetitious after each field entry
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
You should be able to go directly to the tax return to correct incorrect information,. I could not separate my employer HSA contribution from my personal and I should have been able to deduct my personal contribution. The difference between my gross income and my taxable income was only my 401(K) contribution and not my HSA contribution.
What's great about it: Easy to input information
What's not so great: Would not let me correct the HSA deduction and it cost me a couple hundred dollars
