Review by Greg J
Overall, it is a good product and easy to use. The download from Amazon was a breeze- quick and easy. The install, though, took forever. It was much, much slower than installing from a disc. It picked up last year’s return and entered the information quickly and correctly (last year I also used TurboTax). Entry of this year’s data was intuitive and alerted me to all possible issues.
Cons: Expensive (Amazon had the best price). Very slow install- 60+ minutes. I had a couple of unusual items that TurboTax would not let me easily enter regarding dependents. It incorrectly gave an overestimate of the refund until the final check due to some tax credits it wanted to allow that I did not qualify for.
Pros: Intuitive guide for entering your current year’s information. Comprehensive coverage of most tax situations. Direct link to ItsDeductible for entering and storing your charitable deductions. Very easy to send your tax returns to the IRS and state. Since, I am living outside of the USA, the download was the best way to go and Amazon had the best price and most efficient purchase procedure.
Overall: Very good software, especially when you purchase from Amazon.com 5 stars if TurboTax would lower their prices.
