TurboTax Product Details

Features and Benefits:

  • Maximizes Your Tax Deductions — Asks simple questions about your income, family situation and changes in your tax situation. Then, based on your answers, searches for more than 350 deductions to get you the biggest tax refund—guaranteed.
  • Looks for Deduction Opportunities as You Go — TurboTax shows you which deductions you’ve taken. Then it goes through the deductions you haven’t taken to make sure you haven’t missed any. Have kids? You can deduct up to $3,500 per child! Pay for tuition? You may be able to deduct up to $4,000! Own a home? We can help you save hundreds or even thousands of dollars with deductions for property taxes, mortgage interest, points, and more.
  • Gets You the Maximum Deduction for Donations — Every year millions of taxpayers undervalue the items they donate charity, potentially missing out on hundreds of dollars in additional tax savings. ItsDeductible® (included) helps you accurately value items you donate to charity so you get every penny you deserve. Plus, it tracks other donations such as cash, mileage, and stocks, to help you get every charitable deduction you’re entitled to.
  • Finds Every Credit You Deserve — Pay for tuition? You can add as much as $1,800 to $2,000 to your refund with the Hope Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit. Buy a hybrid? The Hybrid Car Credit can add as much as $3,000 to your refund. Each year lots of taxpayers get a smaller refund than they deserve because they fail to take advantage of all the tax credits they’re eligible for. That won’t happen with TurboTax. We’ll make sure you get every credit you’ve got coming for the biggest refund possible.
  • - Improved - Handles Your Life Changes — Changed jobs? Got married? Bought a home? Had a baby? TurboTax guides you through common life changes. Explains how the changes will impact your taxes. And tells you what you can deduct and how, to help you get the biggest refund.
  • Helps with Medical Expenses — TurboTax walks you through all possible medical expenses (including those that many people overlook). Then it does all the math for you and tells you if you qualify to deduct your medical expenses for maximum tax savings.
  • Helps You Get a Bigger Refund Next Year — Gives you an overview of your tax return so you can rest assured that your taxes are accurate. Then it offers you tips on how to improve your tax situation so you can get an even bigger refund next year.

I have done our taxes for nearly 40 years, with Turbo Tax for last year and the year before that. For those years, it worked really great and I was sold. This year they changed the interface and prompts. I can't say how much I hate it. I am

This is a product that I have come to love. I used to dread doing my taxes like almost everyone else. After using Turbo Tax a few years ago I am hooked. It is very simple to use. It tells you your refund amount through the whole process and helps you get

Do not think that you will be able to file your Federal Tax free. The program guides you through the state tax also then will not allow federal filing without paying for state. This was not made clear at the beginning.

I spent days entering in my return into TurboTax online (dozens of dividend reinvestment cost bases, etc.). Almost at completion, a bug prevents me now from logging in to complete the return. There was no way to save my data locally while completing

If you need help using this software, get ready for a nightmare. After getting my Credit card info, it indicated the errors. I tried calling to get help and reached an Indian operator after 20 minutes waiting. The operator accent was so pronounced that was hard to understand and he couldn't understand me. I tried calling again for another operator and it was another indian national with even less understanding of ESL. I tried a third time with the chat help, after 30 minutes, I tried to explain my problem but after 25 more minutes he/she was unresponsive. If the USA is your main client, why not hiring americans?? Slow even on a broadband connection.
