Easiest Tax Preparation Ever!

Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008

(Cincinnati, OH)
Pros: The cost, the speed, the ease of use, the intelligent design
Cons: There were a few glitches, but all were self-correcting
About Me: I own a home
More About Me: I have kids
"I used Turbo-Tax last year for the first time and found the experience quite acceptable. The program works exactly as advertised and walks you through the process, step by step, with explanations and guidance where you need it. I was happy with my results and decided then and there that I'd be using it again.
This year was even better! The ability to import all of last year's information directly into the process, and to automatically download my W2's from my payroll provider made the process extremely efficient and easy. Much faster than answering the same types of questions would take with a live tax preparer and positively less expensive to boot!
I've done my taxes myself (Pen and Paper style), I've had my taxes prepared for me, and I've used Turbo Tax. The only difference between the three methods for me is that by using Turbo Tax I'm 1) Less frustrated and hand cramped by the end and 2) I get to keep more of my refund for myself!"

Pros: fast refund and check all deductions to make sure that you get the largest refund possible
Cons: no cons
"This is the second year that I have used Turbo Tax.The process was so easy and I was able to do it myself and did not have to take my information to a tax office and wait until they had time to complete it... TurboTax checked and used every deduction available for me. I received my refund quiclky and a larger amount than I expected. I recommend Turbo Tax to everyone I know."

"The only point of concern I have is with the Alimony portion of the return. First pass through I missed where you could enter the deduction, so I had to return to find it. With so many people having to pay some kind of support, this deduction should have more relevance. Thank you."

Pros: Easy to use, Fast and Accurate
Cons: None, I would have it any other way
"I have used TurboTax for the last 2 years, and I would have to say that it is easy and painless for any individual.
It remembers your information, and can also pull the W2 directly from a site.
I would highly recommend this software to anyone that is looking to get thier taxes done quick, accurate and cheap.
Why pay someone to do your taxes when you can do everything by youself, and get more money back."

Pros: Easy to use and Understand
Cons: None
"I love using TurboTax Basic. The questions asked were so simplified even an four-year old could do taxes. Great software and not expensive. I do enjoy the option of using a software offered by my employer. By this way, I only pay for the services rendered without buying anything else. Use TurboTax Basic or any of its tax software. It is a must."

Pros: Fast, easy, automatic, stable, intuitive, flawless
Cons: none
About Me: I have kids
"As a web application designer, I must say that the Turbo Tax system is among the best web applications I have ever had the pleasure of using. Everything just works. The automated import of last years return, the import of my W-2 from my employers payroll company, the detailed information at each step, and the thoroughness of the help system are amazing. Turbo Tax is one of the best deals for the money I have received all year."
