Has anyone used the software Turbo Tax to do your taxes? Did you like it or not? I usually use a local woman to do my taxes but was thinking about getting the Turbo Tax software and trying it this year. What do you think?

 

I have.

The first time I used it, I used the free version linked from the IRS website.

Got a return of $600+ when I was not expecting anything back.

Then I went and bought a version of it that does 1099's.

I owed like $880 and got audited!!!

I'll never use it again.

They sent me a free version this year. Makes a great coaster.

 

i used it last year from their website. pretty standard, took me about an hour or so. i used to use h&r block. turbo was a bit cheaper, and i didnt have to go a stare at some goon who just plugging the numbers into some program.

i will use turbo again this year. good luck!

 

i have been using turbo tax for about 8 years and I have never had a problem with it. its fast and easy. you just have to make sure you have all of your forms like 1098s and 1099s. if you try to get off without enterng them you can get screwed. but thats with any tax preparation.i am using it again this year.

 

Have used it with W-2's and 1099's; I use the online version. Have gotten more than I expected refunds every year with no problems from the IRS.

 

i use turbo tax every year as well and have no issues. my uncle on the other hand (married, 4 kids, 2 in college, owns a house and my aunt runs her own bussiness) have been paying someone 250 a year to do their taxes and never had any issues but one year they wanted to try turbo tax since it was alot cheaper than 250 and he said he ended up getting 2500 less than if he would have had his usual person do it. so basically i guess it comes down to probably being good for singles without alot of baggage but probably not the best for the others.

 

ive used it for about 4 years too, online version, always get back more than expected, and its super simple.
