I:ve been using TurboTax for about 12 years now - switched from Taxcut. In 2006 I tried turbotax - went back to taxcut and ended up using turbotax for my returns and never went back. All in all they are decent programs. Two times I had extensive tax situations and had a tax accountant do the taxes then ran turbotax anyway -> the results were within a very few dollars.

I’ve been using various money manager programs for 20 or 30 years. Usually they are glorified beta products let out the door for us to work with. Surprisingly this specific 2014 Home and business version worked A1 right out of the box and has yet to give me a major concern. .I am really happily astounded that they got it right the 1st time on this one.
I control multiple bank and investment accounts for us personally and as a small business.

well, I bought the H&R Block and am extremely unhappy with it. I found a major glitch in the interview that would affect a lot of people that aren’t knowledgeable about taxes. first I had major problems with the install, I assume a bad disk. it wouldn’t boot directly from the disk and kept saying try again. I finally had to use MY COMPUTER and after a few try’s got it to load.

Easy to use tax software. I’ve been using Turbotax for many years with nary a problem. It seems to be the best of few available. From past use, i do know that they respond to tax questions quickly as well.

Despite all the debate, this is a decent upgrade once you bypass the metro home setup. It is really fast installing, vastly faster than windows 7. File transfers are faster and so far everything works fine with it. I am happy with this. There are lots of ways to bypass metro and the best is free.

i would normally give them a 4-5 star rating. first of all state filings are supposed to be $19.99. when submitting they jacked up both states to $24.99 even though the program stated $19.99 at the start of efiling. also since i filed after 4⁄18 which is not a problem if you don’t owe anyone any money (FYI penalties and interest are based on owed money so if you don’t owe money then there is no reason to file an extension), there was an update with a serious flaw in the program.

i renew it every year for a long time now, tried alot of others and their was always issues doing simple things even for a computer orientated person. haven’t tried them all, never had a virus either. just shop around on amazon and watch the price, it can fluctuate greatly

after all the issues going on with TT this year, they are still the best. tried H&R, they just can’t compare and found two serious flaws in their program which is also a lot less user friendly. returned the H&R and bought the TT as i have since the mid 90’s and they made good on their fiasco
