> 3 dayWhy have I been paying for a tax accountant all these years? Mine retired this year, and I had to find a new one. I decided it was finally time to try Turbo Tax. Wow, this is SO easy! If I want put the numbers in at midnight, I can, and I know I wont be getting a bunch of followup questions about what I bought and lord knows what else. Now, I now understand all the questions he used to ask. For years I was afraid to do my own taxes because I didnt understand depreciation. With this, you dont have to know anything, just fill in the blanks. Its GREAT! I cant wait till next year when all the entries from this year pop up automatically. :o)

> 3 dayI love Turbo tax. It makes filing my taxes SO much easier. I can easily download my information from Quicken and BOOM! I am pretty much done! What a relief! I have always been completely terrified of doing my own taxes because, even though I am an avid reader, I just cant read tax forms,,,my brain shuts down...panic, perhaps? :) Somehow, with Turbo Tax and the way it is set up with bright colors, graphics, one question at a time and additional information/clarification as well as a community forum...it just feels more doable. I have been using Turbo Tax for at least 5 years. I have a small business too so this is a lifesaver!

> 3 dayTurboTax makes a very complicated process easy. It takes you through entering tax data step by step in a simplified manner, and provides tips and advice each step along the way. Then it calculated your tax, choosing the right forms and making decisions about the best way to complete the forms, when there is more than one way to do so. I recommend Turbo Tax for simple to moderately complex returns. (I think you will be money ahead to have highly complex returns reviewed by a professional - no $79 computer program is going to outwit a trained professional.) One word of caution - the TurboTax front cover says Includes Federal and State Taxes. What it means is that TurboTax fills out the state forms. There is a substantial extra charge (about $40) for efiling the state form (Federal efiling is free). Of course, you can always send in the state return by regular US mail.

> 3 dayI have used this product for many years since I am a small business owner. Works well to provide W2s, and provide a starting place for my tax accountant. The only concern is that it seems to be a little slower this year in starting up.

> 3 dayWell Turbo Tax software is great. Have been using it 6 years. Makes doing taxes all most fun......no not really!!! But with this software it does make it very easy. Walks you through each step and instructs you on what you need next. Can even file it electronically for you!! Now what accountant will do that for you without the extra fee!! Great price on Amazon......thanks Amazon!!!

> 3 dayI purchased TT 2010, cheap, in late 2012 and entered my accountant generated data, for a test of TT against my accountant. Turbo Tax came out with the same tax, which was the upside. The downside was, I qualified for two credits that TT would not allow, I put them elsewhere, just for test purposes, but TT would not allow the override of those fields. If this had not been a test, TT would have caused me more tax. I will be trying this again with 2011 tax year returns.

> 3 dayThis is the fifth year I have used TurboTax and really like it. It is flexible in its approach--either a led tour or you can just go to the forms you know you need. For people like us who used 5 or 6 schedules on the federal return this is an easy task.

> 3 dayThis weekend, I attempted to file my mothers income tax with this software. She had used the TurboTax version for the Taxable Year 2009 as well. However, both versions have one major software flaw, and its a big one: Even though I entered values for capital losses in the software, it did not show in the final version, nor were these capital losses refelected in the tax computations. Effectively, even though capital losses may be carried over indefinitely, my mother would have lost them meaning that (1) she would not have had the benefit of offsetting any capital gains (she sold her home of 35 years and, yes, she did have a large paper gain, even with the $250,000 exclusion for the sale of a home) and (2) even if she did not have a capital gain, $3,000 of capital losses may be utilized per year to offset ordinary income. These capital losses were not reflected in her 2009 tax return, also filed via TurboTax, so she lost that $3,000 deduction. I will have to file an amended return for that year. Fortunately, I was able to download H & R Blocks software so that her return (with the extension) was timely filed today. My biggest concern is this: I have an advanced degree in tax and was able to crunch the numbers in my head. I only use this type of software because it is more convenient than filling out a paper form. And, beside, the IRS prefers electronic filings. But what about those of you who are dependent on this software? Had I used this software, my mother would have owed $15,000 in tax. However, she really owes nothing. Makes me wonder what other little bugs are in this software. STAY AWAY!
