Back in the day before we owned a computer, I once tried to do our taxes myself.  What a joke!  As if the endless forms, schedules, and page flipping was not bad enough, the tax verbiage was about enough to make me jump off a bridge. 

So for years we took our taxes to our tax guy and for about $100,...

Don't use TurboTax's "Home & Business" software unless you want to be audited by IRS because of sneaky software's blunders and missed forms. "Professional Review" and "Audit Defense" is a joke. Trust me on that. I've been through hell with TurboTax.

This is my first year using Turbo Tax On-line. My spouse and I decided to give Turbo Tax a try because we had heard some positive things.

I went on-line rather hesitantly because I am not in the least knowledgeable about taxes. But after answering a few simple questions, I quickly started the task of filing.

There is an option where one can file electronically with absolutely no fees imposed, and is great if you have a simple return.

Second option was to upgrade-with a fee of course. For an extra $29.95, we were able to file with an added benefit of of getting  unlimited tax advice. Several...

If you've ever wondered what it is like to do your taxes yourself, let me explain it in ONE WORD.  Confusing.  HOWEVER, if you are doing taxes with the help of Turbo Tax Online, everything changes and it becomes.... EASY.  Seriously!

Turbo Tax Online walks you through your taxes, step by step, and wont let you forget a thing.  They ask you about your income, help you enter your information, explain what everything is and what it means, and even offers examples in case you're still confused.  If, after all that, you are somehow still unsure, you can type in any questions and get an automated...

My husband and I just finished my mom's tax return using Turbo Tax Online. We had a card that looked like a credit card we got in exchange for a fair and unbiased reviews. So to the point:

Pros

1. Turbo Tax Online is user friendly. Even I, a former Social Worker, was not lost in the numbers.


Cons

1. We could not see the completed tax return until we paid.
2. There was some confusion when it looked like we were owed money -i.e.a screen showed that our tax bill was less this year than last year which was incorrect.
3. In the tax are where Turbo Tax keeps a running balance the print was red on a black background...

Turbo Tax Online has been the method of choice for filing taxes the past couple of years.
The step-by-step instructions walk you through each aspect of your taxes.  All you have to do is show up and input the data Turbo Tax asks for.

Most of us can use the Turbo Tax Online tools and pay less than $40.  We once used H&R Block and paid well over $100.

We found one drawback when downgrading service.  It just takes a click of a button to upgrade your service (and pay more).  But to downgrade, after realizing you didn't need the upgrade, you have to start from scratch.  i was disappointed as I had...

I have been using TurboTax for 10 years and TurboTax online for about 8 years. It is so easy (and they have improved it) until I even completed taxes for friends and families over the years without any trouble. I like the product because you can simulaneously file federal and state taxes and, for my metropolitan city, I can fill out my local taxes as well. I anxiously wait for the latest version to load so that I can transfer my previous year information--another plus. The ability to save the forms electronically can not be substituted.

The most important thing is that you, the user, must be honest....

This product is great.  We have used it for two years now (the Deluxe version).  It goes through each aspect of income, expenses and other.  It's so easy to use.  Just answer the questions they give you.  A lot less thinking than trying to just fill out the paper work on your own.  And definitely less expensive than using a tax professional.  I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that asked.  You can also e-file for free which I would recommend.  We got our checks so fast last year.  We use this product for Federal and State.  After filling in the Federal, the state only... read full review »

I used Turbo-Tax On-line for the first time this year. I will never use anything else ever again. I had no problem with anything. The program is so easy to follow,just answer the questions and bingo your ready to send it off to the IRS. I was a little leery about the amount of my return so I went to a professional to haveto be sore I would not have any problems. Everything check out fine. I received my return in  two weeks with no questions asked. I would definitely recommend this for the beginner.

I use turbo tax online thru my credit union website. I have used Turbo Tax to complete family and help close friends to complete their taxes for over 4 years. I have used other tax services in the past and I have found that Turbo Tax gives me the largest refund at the best cost and provides me with all the tools I need too get the largest returns.

I have been using TurboTax online for the past 3 years.  I love it.  They use simple terminology and make easy every step of the way.  Plus, I get so excited to watch the window show me how much I am getting back and for what.

Unfortunately, I followed their instructions and got hit with a large penalty for doing that.  Just because TurboTax says you can take a deduction - don't believe them.  Check first.

I love using Turbo Tax online edition. I've used it for the past four years and I wouldnt go anywhere else to have my taxes prepared. I have recommended to many friends and family members who also now feel the same way a me about this great website.

I am not really good with numbers and the questions they ask for tax preparation. But Turbo Tax makes filing your taxes a breeze. Instead of using "tax language" that may be hard to interept for some of us. They ask you questions that are very easy to understand. When you are entering your information off of your w2's they even tell you which number...

I've used turbotax online for 3 years now.  I've had weird tax situations and didn't have to fill out confusing forms.  I only had to answer questions and let the software do it's job.  Also, our donations have been more beneficial because of the It's Deductible portion of the program.  My husband's employer's information was imported automatically.  One year I had started an independent consultant business.   The program made that easy to input.  This year, we had bought and sold a house, started a home day care business among other changes.  I feel confident with the filing and accuracy... read full review »
