This was my first time doing my taxes online. I liked that it had step by step help if I needed it.
What's great about it: Easy to fill out dividend section, offers help in case you need it.
What's not so great: I was charged at the end for my state form when it said it was free?

I have been using turbo tax for close to 20 yrs. Before turbo tax I was using a cpa tax pro at three or four times the cost of the turbo tax program. I found I was doing all the work organizing all the information and giving it to the tax preparer. All he was doing was loading the info on a tax program. A friend recommended turbo tax, I have to admit the first time I prepared my own taxes I was slow at it. Now I breeze right through the program. You purchase the program level of your return. My return has included, rental property, day trading, depreciation, daycare, solar and educational cost. I never thought I would attempt my own taxes.
What's great about it: You can use their guide prompting questions to complete the return. You can also work on the individual forms.
What's not so great: I really can' think of a con.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

I have used TurboTax for probably 15 years. One year I had to switch from a mac computer to a pc and the transfer was seamless. A couple of suggestions I would like to see. Carryovers need to start with a reminder from previous years because we can't recall if we had a carryover (losses, mortgage points, etc.). "You have a -$1000 carry over from last year...etc, etc. Need an easy way to go back and change things...for example I noticed during a review that I was not using direct deposit and I went to forms and had a hard time finding it. Another thing is when you go back to check things--you have to answer all the questions again...like do you have a foreign bank account. Why can't it just remember you answered it already? Not sure why but when I print a copy to review, it cuts off the bottom and it is in color? I want to print in black and white and I want the choice to "fit or scale to page" when printing. I have to save a a pdf file and then print in b&w and scaled. Hope you can make some of these additions.
What's great about it: Easy Transfer Prior Years
What's not so great: I have a couple of suggested improvements
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Personal Taxes

For something that that should take an hour or two at the most, I ended up spending about five hours. Most of that was due to attempting to understand terminology and explanations on some of the business related parts I have to deal with, and then rental property for the first time. Otherwise, I have been happy with Turbo Tax in the all of the years I have been using it.
What's great about it: Helps in getting through the tax mess each year
What's not so great: More detailed explanations of some of the tax terms need to be considered
Pros: I moved

Provide comparison files for various filing option
on March 6, 2016
Posted by: ggct2010
Each year I check to see if Married Filing Separately (MFS) vice Jointly (MFJ) will provide any benefit....unfortunately I have to start all over re-loading ALL of the same information that was already loaded...W2, etc. It would be great if you asked up front if I wanted to compare (MFJ vs MFS)...then you could ask specific questions about the data as its loaded so that you can then split and allocate the various incomes/deductions between the two individuals....
