    Customers appreciate the software's information retention. They find it easy to use, with helpful explanations and tips. The software guides them through specific sets of questions or categories.

    Customers have mixed opinions about TurboTax's value for money. Some find it a good value for the price, with charitable contributions and deductible investment losses. Others say it's overpriced, has errors like double downloading income, and charges for each state filing after the first one.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for current tax as well as for tax planning for next year.
      Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2015
      Verified Purchase
      Very reliable product. I especially appreciate that you can see the actual forms and do some entries right in the form. This helps in what-if situations so you con do some tax planning for next year. Best way to do this is to save a copy of your file with a name like "test for next year". Then go ahead and plug in numbers. You can see if what you are planning will trigger the dreaded AMT tax, how it will affect your state tax, what tax bracket you will be bumped into, if the deduction you are contemplating is worth taking in any particular year, how will dividends and or capital gains affect your federal and local taxes, does it pay to convert some/all of your IRA to Roth IRA, etc., etc. If you rely on an accountant to do these what-if scenarios, you and the accountant will quickly become tired of the process, never mind the additional costs you will have to pay. Even though the thresholds change from year for deductions or exemptions, you can get a very resonable idea what your moves will cost you , and then decide if to do it or not. Very Very highly recommended.

      4.0 out of 5 stars 16 years of Turbox with no problems!
      Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2015
      Verified Purchase
      I've been using TurboTax since 1998 and have never looked back since saying goodbye to my accountant. I have noticed that there are a lot of very negative reviews because the price of TurboTax has gone up and in addition, many people that use TurboTax Deluxe are now forced to use TurboTax Premier. I am one of those people that now have to use Premier. However, I have no justification to give a negative review or to give 1 or 2 or 3 stars. Here's why: First of all, I know for a fact that I am still paying quite a bit less for TurboTax than I would be paying an accountant and I like the satisfaction of doing things for myself. Secondly, I have found that over the years I have been using TurboTax, Intuit has continuously improved the product. In all the years I have using TurboTax I have had to contact customer service less times than I can count on one hand. Those minor issues were always resolved quickly either thru email or speaking directly with a person on the phone. In fact, a few years ago, I discovered a mistake that Turbo was making on my return as I was preparing it. I brought the glitch to Intuit's attention. They acknowledged my issue and in less than a week it was corrected via the updates that always take place when you open the program. I have read reviews by other people that spoke of horrible experiences with customer service. This simply has never happened to me. The reason I give 4 stars rather than 5 stars is because of being "forced" to use Premier this year coupled with the fact that the price increase seems to be quite a bit more than the general rate of inflation. Also, the "bundle deals" for buying Turbox and Quicken together don't seem to be so great this year from what I've seen. So, in summary, I am now in my 16th year of using TurboTax and have a lot of satisfaction, familiarity and comfort with the software, so I have no urge to jump ship and try something different. However, I can easily see why someone who has been using Turbox for just one or two years to become angered by what is clearly some very poor marketing decisions on the part of Intuit. I hope that upper management at Intuit is taking a close look at all the negative feedback and will take it to heart when preparing next years products.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Turbo Tax is still BEST IN CLASS!!!
      Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2015
      Verified Purchase
      I've used TurboTax since its early DOS versions too many years ago, and the software remains the leading tool in the income tax self-preparation space. When combined with Quicken, TurboTax is a powerful tool that makes the often mind-numbing exercise of income tax filing a relatively straight forward, intuitive exercise. The installation is simple, the guided completion of the various forms a well thought-out process, the Knowledge Base a strong supporting tool, and the TurboTax e-community a terrific resource for more complex situations. I've read the "outrage" about modifications that Intuit has made to their software, perhaps to migrate users with more complex situations from the DeLuxe version to its Premier selection (and, I'm one of them.) However, this seems to be a GIGANTIC over-reaction, as the Deluxe cost is about $50 versus Premier's $65, as compared with the cost of an Accountant or Enrolled Agent (aka "certified tax preparer") for essentially the same service (albeit, with the respective personal touch) probably starting at $250. Although Intuit could have certainly communicated the changes more effectively, I would nonetheless still recommend TurboTax (in my case Premier) as the best-of-class application and well worth the value of self-prepared tax filing in an efficient, cost-effective manner!!!
