Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008
Anonymous
(California)
Pros: Easy to use and fast, very informative
Cons: State Returns not as helpful as federal
About Me: I own rental property
More About Me: I own a home
"The federal portion is excellent, providing additional information on every expense and deduction with the click of a mouse. State returns, MN and MD used, did not offer the same level of detail with a mouse click. Although accurate they did not provide information on each deduction and income catagory."

(Lorton, VA)
Pros: Investment Assistance and Deduction Finder
Cons: Seriously can't think of any
About Me: I own a home
More About Me: I buy/sell investments such as stocks and bonds
"This is very friendly software. I have vista and Mozilla Firefox...and let's face it there are some glitches in both of those applications. On two occasions my Firefox locked up and both times..turbotax independently saved my progress and I was able to start up right where my computer decided that I was leaving off. As far as deductions go...unless you're a tax lawyer, you wouldn't even know about 50% of the deductions I ended up being eligible for at the end. Great Product...and improves every years...Customer since 2001"

Pros: Well-guided, trustworthy
Cons: Not prompted on underpayment penalties
About Me: I have kids
More About Me: I buy/sell investments such as stocks and bonds
"Once you gather and enter all the information (can take a lot of time) the prompts and guides are very nice and seem trustworthy. TT's completion of necessary tax forms is great. Not much prompting before the end about any underpayment penalties, procedures though."

"Tried online version this year for first time. Too many versions. Needed only stock section of Premier due to buy outs otherwise basic was enough. Also, Premier does not import prior year information.
Overall great product for years and will continue to use it in the future."

Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008

(Southwest)
Pros: Imports some info from mutual fund records.
Cons: Does not import enough info from mutual fund records.
About Me: I own a home
More About Me: I buy/sell investments such as stocks and bonds
"Adding necessary info to fund entries is extremely difficult and frustrating. For example: Classifying Long Term and Short Term Capital Gains is not always successful because where it says "click" to enter L or S, no visible sign indicates that I have entered a letter. The TurboTax automatic choice of L or S is not always the same as shown in the bank quarterly report. Also the fund descriptions are so faint they can hardly be identified. There is much room for further simplifying TurboTax."

Pros: Generally good guidance
Cons: Unable to return to and edit information on vouchers online
About Me: I own a home
More About Me: I have kids
"The first time through with the online version, I had 3 or 4 options for how I wanted the Payment Vouchers for next year printed, e.g., with dollar amounts filled in or left out. Before filing my return I printed it out to take a look. I decided to change the dollar amounts for the printed vouchers, but cound not return, make this change, and print out new vouchers. Ugn."

Review of TurboTax - Tax Year 2008

Pros: Intuitive program, very good value
Cons: Online can't import Quicken data
About Me: I own a home
More About Me: I have a side income
"If you have a basic understanding of filing and nothing extremely complicated, this program is a tremendous value. I would recommend the CD version over the online version, because you can import Quicken data on the CD version but not online (at least I was not able to). That's a problem if you have a 97-page 1099 from your broker like I did (I ended up summarizing the data, hope that was legal, gulp!). Otherwise the program is intuitive and pretty straightforward to use."
