I've been using Turbo Tax for years. Every year, there seems to be some little "glitch" that Turbo Tax always blames on the government, saying a required update from the IRS hasn't been received, etc. Until now, the glitch has been resolved within a few days or a week. But this time, we imported the exact information from last year's return. Nothing at all has changed. First our return was rejected because the AGI/PIN didn't match, though Turbo Tax claims that it imports all of the info from previous r..
The Turbo Tax basic edition seems to provide ample tools even for complex tax return preparation.It's main shortcoming: A trifle clumsy to use at times, particularly when one wishes to go directly to the IRS forms being worked on.
I have used Turbotax for over 10 years. Have always used the basic as it is the most economical, and contains all the features I need, including forms for rental properties, depreciation schedules, and more. The information from the previous year is transferred to the current year with the touch of a button, which can possibly keep you from forgetting something. Turbotax is great!
