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

> 3 dayAt 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.

> 3 dayThis is a great product. I usually have someone else do my taxes. But Turbo Tax walked me through the process. I was able to complete the process without serious issues. It even picked up my W2s, and 1099s online. I really appreciated the audit risk analysis at the end and the suggestions to reduce risk which I did. It then e-filed my tax returns. My refund came a week later for state and two weeks later for federal. Moreover, my refund was significantly higher than previously, and I didnt have to pay to get my taxes done other than the cost of Turbo Tax software and the cost to e-file. All in all, I was greatly pleased.

> 3 dayIve used TurboTax for about 6 years. Its generally a great time saving product. Every year it gets slightly better but it doesnt change much. When your situation is quite complicated you may need to do some additional research but this is always obvious when TuboTax fails to ask about something youve done. This has come up twice in the six years and I have always found out how to enter the information correctly with little complication. This year I switched from Windows to mac. I couldnt be happier about the easy transition. I moved my 2009 data file from the pc to the mac. I installed TurboTax on the mac. I started TurboTax and it immediately found the 2009 file. Doesnt matter where you put it on the mac. TT finds it and its 100% compatible. All my info was ready to go for 2010!

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayIn 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.

> 3 dayThe Vendor: Fantastic price. Took 3 days to arrive in the mail. The Product: Installed with no problems. I was worried that I would have to pay when I printed or that there would be an issue with activation. No activation, no issues. I have been using TT since 2006. Every year I install the program and import last years tax return data *.tax2009, *.tax2010, *.tax2011, and so on. Then I update the figures. Especially for my 1099 Schedule C Income from my side business activities and now I export from TD Ameritrade a *.txf (Tax eXchange Format) and pull all the trades right into TT. No more individual entries for the 1099-B.

> 3 dayI have used TurboTax for several years now. This years software keeps suddenly interrupting the process with leagal jargon wordingsI have zero clue about how to answer correctly. This never happened in prior years that I have used this product. My trust in whether I am doing my taxes right has just gone WAY downhill with TurboTax, since now I have to answer so many questions that have weird technical questions with words I do not even understand. Even if I go to the Forms View, I cannot make out what I should be answering the questions like. Sad but true. :-(

> 3 dayWe 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!

> 3 dayI have used Turbotax for the last 6-7 years and have always liked the product. This year, however, I dont believe Intuit / TurboTax did a very good job of debugging the software. It runs incredibly slow and tends to lock up for a few minutes (yes, minutes) when entering data into a data field. I have found a work-around in that after entering data, clicking on file or view (or any of the drop down menus) will force the information in the data field and allow to continue to the next section (irritating and ridiculous but at least it works...). There are also issues with some data fields not appearing and therefore, data cannot be entered (again, the workaround is going directly to the forms view and entering the data direct). Hopefully Intuit will push an update that will fix these problems soon!
