Greater than one weekTurbo Tax is great and makes tax preparation a snap. My only complaints concerning this version of Turbo Tax are that when you are down to the final check and it prompts you to make corrections, after reviewing the final areas to be corrected and making the corrections, if any need to be made, the program continually brings those same errors to your attention -- i.e., if you do not correct an item because it is okay -- and then these supposed errors prevent your e-file from going through. It took me at least 20-30 minutes to submit my final returns via e-file because of this glitch in the program; fortunately, the system finally recognized I approved of my returns as-is, but it was very frustrating and annoying!

> 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 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 dayI purchased TurboTax H&B 2010 at Thanksgiving time from Amazon and took a batch of updates right away, but with Congress stalling how correct can it have been? They didnt state their assumptions for this early version anywhere I would notice them. As usual Ohio download wont be ready until early January. This time many federal forms are noted to be ready in early January too. Now that a new federal tax bill has passed, I see TurboTax guessed wrong in allowing of $1000 (joint) real estate tax deduction in addition to the standard deduction. So I have no idea how valid the program results are as of late December and have had to resort to paying as much state and federal tax by withholding as were my total taxes last year. Im sure it will become its usual very good product in a month or so, but I wish they would make it pop up a better list of things that have yet to be incorporated.

Greater than one weekThis 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 dayBeen using TurboTax since its inception. Each new version of the program gets better. People who experience problems with the software either do not understand taxes or do not know how to use the help features. As a last resort, call support. It would be great if Turbo Tax people had a loyalty program and gave past users a special price break ! I am still waiting for a special section of user tools that will allow the user to associate specific areas over the years (the last ten would be great.) I have tried other tax programs, but their features do not compare with Turbo Tax.

> 3 dayOnce again, Turbotax has escorted me through the horribleterribleawful maze of filing Federal Income Tax. After ten years of experience with the software I feel it continues to improve and provide value. I have confidence that things are done correctly. Now, if it could prevent my harddrive from crashing, it would be the best ever.

Greater than one weekI have used TurboTax for many years and find it the easiest and most user friendly. Ive tried some of the other leading tax software and for me, found it less intuitive to use, but I admit, that could be because of my familiarity with TurboTax. Either way, I am very pleased and will continue to use TurboTax for my 2011 taxes.

> 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.
