> 3 dayIve been using TurboTax for the last 15 years and it always does an awesome job. It lets me know what my audit risk is and this year I received $150 more on my state return when I didnt use all my charitable deductions... dont ask me why but there must be a weird formula the state uses. More than paid for itself! Highly recommend!

> 3 dayIve been using TurboTax for over 12 years now and this one is even easier to use than before. I have a business that we started 2 years ago, and the Home & Business 2010 is great. From the little details to the what I would call more complex ... TurboTax takes you through it all step by (easy) step. The option for Audit Defense has been a great thing too. So far Ive not needed to put it into action and ask for help, but the comfort of knowing its there in case I need it is wonderful.

Greater than one weekHave used Turbo Tax for over 15 yrs. Only complaint I have now is that it prints pages not needed or requested. For example: If I want to print Form 1040, Turbo Tax prints three pages, the third page with something entirely not necessary.

> 3 dayAfter years of having someone else prep my personal and small business taxes, this time around I thought, do it yourself. It was a little trying to figure out how to go back and forth from section to section. How ever I did figure it out and cleared all of the systems questions and redo commands. It could use use more simple directives for someone like me but overall it was workable.

> 3 dayEach year the software gets better. I have been using TurboTax for decades. I know there are other tax software packages, but I dont want to learn a new one.

> 3 dayIn past years Turbo Tax was tedious, because the wizard process requires repetition of like 10 questions to revise a single entry, but otherwise smooth. This year, however, there are lots of annoying glitches. My version on Windows 7 crashed about 10 times as I was doing my returns, so if you use this I would suggest saving frequently. Also, there seem to be too many bugs this far into in the tax season. For example, a figure entered in the wizard incorrectly appears as 0 (zero) in the income summary page, but is reflected correctly on the (printed) forms. After dealing with all the crashes and bugs, I wasnt able to e-file due to the following error. There is an update available for your version of Turbo Tax. Before you can file electronically, youll need to get this update. To do this, go to the Online menu and select Check for Updates. However, when I check for updates the Updater says, Your software is up to date. There are lots of questions about this on the TT Live Community, so I dont think it was specific to my situation. I suspect they will resolve it before April, but it seems like they should test their products more thoroughly before shipping them out.

> 3 dayWhile I am a salaried rat, my wife is a consultant and uses a limited liability company as her legal entity for her work. So the Home & Business version of Turbo Tax is very helpful in not only handling a salaried employee but also in handling an independent contractor type such as my wife. It really helps with the categorization of business expenses for the LLC. Ive used this product for years and always feel very comfortable with it.

> 3 dayI have used Turbo Tax for several years and it is an excellent product. They make it so easy for entering your tax data from tax forms and they do the rest of the work through placing it on required tax forms. (However, do not use the download version even though this costs considerably less than the disk. I have seen many complaints about technical problems in downloading the progrqam.) If you will use this product instead of an accountant, you WILL save lots of money which is left for YOU to use!

> 3 dayThis weekend, I attempted to file my mothers income tax with this software. She had used the TurboTax version for the Taxable Year 2009 as well. However, both versions have one major software flaw, and its a big one: Even though I entered values for capital losses in the software, it did not show in the final version, nor were these capital losses refelected in the tax computations. Effectively, even though capital losses may be carried over indefinitely, my mother would have lost them meaning that (1) she would not have had the benefit of offsetting any capital gains (she sold her home of 35 years and, yes, she did have a large paper gain, even with the $250,000 exclusion for the sale of a home) and (2) even if she did not have a capital gain, $3,000 of capital losses may be utilized per year to offset ordinary income. These capital losses were not reflected in her 2009 tax return, also filed via TurboTax, so she lost that $3,000 deduction. I will have to file an amended return for that year. Fortunately, I was able to download H & R Blocks software so that her return (with the extension) was timely filed today. My biggest concern is this: I have an advanced degree in tax and was able to crunch the numbers in my head. I only use this type of software because it is more convenient than filling out a paper form. And, beside, the IRS prefers electronic filings. But what about those of you who are dependent on this software? Had I used this software, my mother would have owed $15,000 in tax. However, she really owes nothing. Makes me wonder what other little bugs are in this software. STAY AWAY!
