OK for simple taxes, not up the the job if your taxes have any uncommon entries
This was my first time using TT. I bought the Premier edition to be able to handle my ESPP, NQSO and ISO options and to compute my AMT which (this is the first year I've been hit by that). BTW, on the topic of company stock plans, I strongly recommend Kaye Thomas' book "Consider Your Options". TT made the process go a little faster except for all the time I spent on online chats and on phone tech support calls to eventually learn that TT could not support my situation without hacking my numbers or moving transations into different categories from where they should really go. More on this below.^M
TurboTax saved me money over TaxCut
Last year, I got mad at TurboTax. They moved the stock option support I needed into Premium, and I refused to pay the extra money on principle. So this year I bought TaxCut Premium instead. Bad choice! I aborted my return with TaxCut. I bought TurboTax Premium to complete my return. The difference between the two products is compelling.^M
Federal Taxes for Idiots
We have used this product for the last three years and find it very easy to prepare our taxes, particularly the section that deals with mutual funds and stocks sales, losses, gains, etc. The program asks you questions and your answers end up in the right forms and/or worksheets, which you can later print or save to a PDF file and, of course, you can e-file, if you so desire.^M
