Makes doing your taxes easy and fun!

This is my third year filing my taxes with Turbo Tax, and I have to admit I actually look forward to doing my taxes each year because this program makes  it so easy and fun. It walks you through everything step by step so you don't miss anything. Also, it tallies up your return as you progress along, so you can see how much you are getting (or if you owe anything, God forbid, it will show that as well). I chose this version since I have to file a state return, and the Deluxe Federal & State allows you to download their state program for free.

The only downside to using this program every year is the cost. You have to purchase a new program every year to get the updates. (Why can't they provide the option of downloading a few updates for old programs for a lower cost? It's all a money-making scheme, really.) On top of that, there is an e-filing fee. You would think filing electronically would be cheaper because it requires less paperwork, but it seems like Intuit just wants to make more money. However, the cost is worth the convenience of the product, so I continue to purchase and use the product year after year.

I love TurboTax! It's very user friendly and easy to do your taxes with this program. I filed and already have my refund!

This is the fourth year that I use this software, and I continue to find it extremely easy to use.  When I do have a question, there is a number to call.  The representative that takes the call is very knowledgeable about the tax laws.  I feel very secure using this program.  I was amazed how quickly my e-filed returns were accepted - next day!

Awesome product.  Very easy to use.  The only thing I had difficulty with had to do with mortgage refinance points as I had no idea whether or not my previous tax preparer had amortized this.  I had to go look through the prior year's return to locate the info and figure it out (wish the program had stated what and where I should look).  Overall it was real clear as to whether or not something was deductible and what information had to be entered and usually explained where you could locate that information.  Anyone with a little bit of logic and common sense can use.

I've been using this tax program for the past 8 years without a hitch.  It makes federal and state tax prep easy---just respond to their Q&A and they do all the analysis and all the calculations---if you used their program for last year's returns, they plug all of your basic info into your new return instantly which saves a lot of time.  Believe it or not, my oldest friend still does his returns by hand!

Unfortunately, I have to file in two states since I work in one and live in the other.  My only criticism is that although Block gives me one state for free, it charges me 30 bucks for the second state's program---rather steep.  But still, the program itself costs less than its chief competitor and this year it let me e-file my federal and one state return for free.  I'll keep using them going forward.

It is easy to use. The program coaxes you through every step. I use it every year for the whole family to do there taxes. Much less expensive than other programs or tax preparation groups.

I've used both TurboTax and TaxCut in the past. Both are easy to use, although I have found the interview process in TaxCut to be more comfortable. The H&R Block At Home product has some improvements over TaxCut from previous years. It uploaded from either TurboTax or TaxCut from the 2008 tax year and had my return ready-to-efile in almost no time. I regularly use Schedules A, B and D, and had income from wages, pension and unemployment for 2009. I'm quite confident that the results were accurate. This is an excellent product for any taxpayer who has basic knowledge of the tax return format and requirements. But like so many other things, if you don't have a clue what you're doing you should probably pay someone to do your tax returns. Garbage in--garbage out!

I've been using H&R Tax Software for the last three years. Before that I used Turbo Tax. I actually like both and have no issues with either. I'm able to get through all my entries easily, and file my taxes with ease.  My situation is simple though, with main work income, interest from savings accounts, and a few dividends and stock sales. I don't deduct much since I don't own a home.

H&R Block Tax Software does a great job of going through every section step-by-step. The program does a great job of providing additional information for any section or question they ask.  The calculations have been accurate for me all three years. I usually file in March, and I also run through other online programs to verify that they calculate the same refund or amount owed.

The program installed easily without any problems on my AMD triple-core PC with 8 GB of RAM. It should install on most computers easily, as long as yours isn't completely outdated. It imported my data from the previous year. And when it was time to file, it did it without any problems. I love this software. I also loved the Turbo Tax software when I was using it years ago. But since H&R Block software has been cheaper, I just pickup this one.

As for the costs, the federal program is included and e-file is also free. The state program is included, but the e-file is what you have to pay for if you do that, and that's usually around twenty.  But you can always print out the forms and send it by mail.

The ease of calculations, and the automatic flow of information, makes this program a premier product.
The novice, as well as the seasoned individual preparer will be amazed at the ease of doing your tax return.

Easily answered all of my tax questions through helpful "pop-up' boxes, and is still one of the most affordable ways to do your taxes.  Highly recommend it!

Love it.  So easy to use.  I do all the work anyway getting it all together.  Turbo Tax makes it easy to enter and checks it for anything I may have forgotten.  I have used it every year for 5 years.

I have a full-time tech job as well as a part-time real estate business on the side and this tax software helped me sort out my income and expenses from both to maximize my return.  Been using H&R Block for the past 10 years and I love it.  Tax returns are so easy and with the e-file, I got my return back within a week.  P.S. More than one user so definitely worth the money.  When i'm done with my return, I pass it on to my sister and brother.

No other software makes the forceful and coercive nature of paying taxes more convenient and at a such a low cost. Thank you Intuit for providing a modicum of efficiency to the bloated regulatory mess that is the American tax code. Heroes!

You could pay a CPA firm hundreds, maybe thousands, to do your taxes or you could click the Buy Now button and save yourself some money that you'll end up sending to Uncle Sam anyway!

So we have a complicated (to me) situation: rental property, investments, state taxes, self-employment. I have been intimidated enough by this situation to fork out $400 annually to our accountant (in fact, it appears we've financed his second home). Not anymore. The Personal & Small Business version handles all of these items, even creating W-2 and 1099 forms for employees/contractors if you have that need.

My accountant always sent me a paper copy of questions to fill out; the turbo tax program runs along the same lines. (Oh, and did I mention you're saving oodles of money?) It actually comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee, so even if it doesn't work for you or you don't like it, you don't really have anything to lose. Installs on the PC right out of the box. Happy savings!
