TurboTax Home & Business Federal + e-File + State 2010 - [Old Version]

For many years we used a CPA to prepare our tax returns. A few years ago, one of them was audited by the IRS. While it totally passed muster, as I knew it would, it cost us $2,000 for the CPA to represent us. Nonsense, I said. Im an excellent record keeper, Ill admit. So I figured if the TurboTax was user friendly, I would be home free. And on top of that, for an extra 50 bucks or so, TurboTax will represet you in an IRS audit. Perfect. So for the last four years, Ive used TurboTax. Its easy enough if you take your time and you pay attention to each question it asks you.

Have been using TurboTax ever since - Great ovetall concept incorporates multiple services and tools ALL relevant tax issues updated every year Best Online Dowloadable Financial Product for the Price - Ask as CPA what he charges for the SAME SERVICES offered and youll buy 2 !

I have a small business based from my home. I have used Turbo Tax to prepare our taxes for the last 5 years. It gives you step by step instructions, so you do not miss any deduction. I keep track of all my bookkeeping on Quick Books and when it is tax time, Turbo Tax merges everything from Quick Books into the tax documents. Which this saves me a boat load of time. If you are unsure of a deduction, it has a quick reference guide to explain the deduction to you in an easy format. With this feature you know for sure if you are actually entitled to the deduction. You never have to read up on the new tax laws because Turbo Tax already has all the new tax law updates built right in or updates them for you automatically. It also has a automatic error check to make all blanks have been completed. I would highly recommend this product.

When I bought this

We have been doing our taxes with Turbo Tax for years. It is simple and easy to use, and WAY less expensive than hiring someone to do your taxes. Besides, they use tax software to do your taxes so why not cut the middle man? The only thing you have to do is gather up your information and enter it into the program when prompted. At the end, you are even given an opportunity to plan for next years taxes. I highly recommend this program!

Amazon always has the lowest prices on the products they sell. I was watching the prices on Turbo Tax home and business software because that is what I have been using for the past 6-7 years to do my taxes. I was waiting for Office Depot and Staples to bring their price down on this product but when I saw the price that Amazon was selling Turbo Tax for I had to get it. I just knew that the other stores could not match the Amazon price for such a great product. Turbo Tax is a great product that is easy to use and you can ask for help on anything you have trouble with - easy and on-line.

The software asked all necessary questions to get all valid deductions and to fill out forms required and accurately. My only issue was having done my taxes without software for 40 years it took some getting used to. I would recommend especially for those with a small business.

At the end of 2006, after years of spending as much as $1200 for a CPA to file our extensive, multi-form taxes, I gave TurboTax a try... side by side with the CPAs results. Not only was I able to gain a much better understanding of my tax calculations, I saved having to pay his outlandish fees in the future. I have been using TurboTax ever since. I will use it, again, next year and the year after and the year after.

In past years Turbo Tax was tedious, because the wizard process requires repetition of like 10 questions to revise a single entry, but otherwise smooth. This year, however, there are lots of annoying glitches. My version on Windows 7 crashed about 10 times as I was doing my returns, so if you use this I would suggest saving frequently. Also, there seem to be too many bugs this far into in the tax season. For example, a figure entered in the wizard incorrectly appears as 0 (zero) in the income summary page, but is reflected correctly on the (printed) forms. After dealing with all the crashes and bugs, I wasnt able to e-file due to the following error. There is an update available for your version of Turbo Tax. Before you can file electronically, youll need to get this update. To do this, go to the Online menu and select Check for Updates. However, when I check for updates the Updater says, Your software is up to date. There are lots of questions about this on the TT Live Community, so I dont think it was specific to my situation. I suspect they will resolve it before April, but it seems like they should test their products more thoroughly before shipping them out.
