Canadian Pension Income
on March 30, 2014
Posted by: RJMinAZ2014
It's very frustrating when you follow the Easy Guide to enter foreign taxes paid and it keeps popping out back to the deductions page before prompting for the amount of foreign taxes withheld on your Canadian Pension Income.
To override Turbo Tax, you need bring up form 1116 manually to enter the amount of Canadian Tax Withheld on pension income from Canada.
What's great about it: The forms are in Turbo Tax
What's not so great: Does not walk you thru reporting foreign tax paid on CA pension income

I don't like the personal information request that pops up right after launching a return. This is followed by an "error message" indicating I did not fill in the information and asking if I "really want to continue" - VERY ANNOYING.
What's not so great: Personal information request upon launching

Easy as making pie
on March 30, 2014

You need to have one version for personal taxes that also includes trust and partnerships.
What's great about it: Easy to follow and review
What's not so great: Had to buy one for trust/parnership and one for personal. Last year one program took care of both.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

confused
on March 30, 2014

Other than the confusing summary during the "Federal Review", I thought Turbo Tax was very easy to use.
It was a surprise to me that we would no longer receive the tax credit when our child turned 17 in 2013. She still lives at home, still in high school (full-time student). Maybe this is a topic that Turbo Tax could explain in more depth in the future?
How is it that we don't get a tax credit for her, and yet we make too much money for her to qualify for a Pell Grant for college? So, in other words, as far as the taxes go, she's too old to be considered a dependent, but for Federal aid for college, she's still a dependent and has to report what her parents make.

What's great about it: I do love Turbo Tax...it's so easy to use. And I love how it automatically enters data from the previous return.
What's not so great: Federal Review was confusing when the amount of tax and credits that I paid were more than my tax and yet I still owed!
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
