"I found the program to be excellent. However it goes into unncessary detail in some places where a more general answer is required and doesn't allow you to pass it over."

Straight forward process
March 30, 2009
Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008
Anonymous
Pros: Lots of help sidebars to explain input required.
"We've used Turbo Tax for four years and it is very straight forward. All I do is put all the Tax documentation in one file folder as they come in the mail and then when I'm ready to due our taxes I organize the papers into categories (bank, mortgage, funds, charities, etc), very simple. Then Turbo Tax guides me through the inputs."

Help in Confusing TImes

Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008
Anonymous
(Silver Spring, MD)
Pros: Walked me through investment loss calculations
Cons: Initial inquiries didn't match columns on 1098 form
About Me: I own a home
More About Me: I own rental property
"I had a hard time figuring out how to correctly report my investment losses, since the interview question asked for "net profit" which didn't match any box on my 1098 form. As a result, I initially reported my losses there, instead of the sale price, and knew something wasn't right when I saw that amount reported as "sales price." Why not use the terms on the 1098 form, to avoid confusion? I had to look at my partner's form, prepared by his CPA, to understand what to do differently."

Great But Some Flaws

Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008
Anonymous
(New York, NY)
Pros: Easy to Follow and Enter Data
Cons: Difficult to Impossible to correct errors
About Me: I buy/sell investments such as stocks and bonds
"Usually easy going. I love the way it saves prior years data and can down load information from brokers. But, I had one problem that I could not correct. I followed the help instructions but the problem was still there. It was looking for the time and location of work out of USA, but all my foreign income was passive, interest and dividends. But, kept saying I needed to say when I worked out of USA."

Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008
Anonymous
(Everett, WA)
Pros: guidance through the sections
Cons: not returning to where I left off 80-90% of the time, and not displaying already entered values in summary screens
About Me: I own a home
More About Me: I own rental property
"I didn't like this years version of Turbo Tax Online as well as last year's version. My primary reasons include; not returning to where I left off 80-90% of the time (when it said it would), and not displaying already entered values in summary screens (so I'd have to go back thru a section that I'd already completed)."

(Louisiana & New Mexico)
Pros: Knowledge, Awareness, cost effective, go-at-your-own pace, Easy-to-do
Cons: Time to complete (versus having it done for you)
About Me: I have kids
More About Me: I own a home
"I have used Turbo Tax (TT) for 3 years. I find that i have become more aware of the content (credits, tax deductions, ect.) than in years prior when I did not use it. Having someone complete my taxes takes a burden off of me regarding time. However, I feel more knowledgable about our financial situation because of TT. I love that TT is user-friendly, cost effective, go-at-your-own-pace product that puts me in control of my taxes. Would recommend to anyone."

Pros: Ease of use
Cons: No way to track entries in the Q&A section to results at the form level
"I have been using Turbo Tax for years, and decided to try the on-line version this year. The Q&A data gathering format is easy and inuitive...a real plus for Turbo Tax.
I found it frustrating that there is no form view offered in this version. It is impossible to track how entries int eh Q&A section find their way to lines onf various tax forms. I found myself searching around trying to figure out how an entry on the 1040 got there, and finally had to give up."
