It is so easy to use, you can always search and find the answer. They make it to where they give you examples of everything you enter. I have used it for about 8 years and the only negative thing is the price gets higher every year.

I've been using TurboTax for the last 9yrs and this will be my last. TurboTax has been charging for the preparation and monitoring. Last couple of years I've been audited when TurboTax said I was good and everything was clear. I paid for services that lied to me. When I needed help this year, I couldn't find the questions to it. I would had to pay more money for help then additional for self employment. One good thing TurboTax has is the import taxes from the previous year. But this year they imported some information that I wasn't aware of and didn't know how to complete.

They made an error on my brother in laws tax return and all they said was sorry but now you owe $2,500.00. He told the preparer that he never expected a refund, if it was correct and he was assured it was. He had been doing business with them for 5 years.

This service is not worth paying for. you do all the work by bringing them everything and they put it in a computer. they offered no help on how to save money or advise for next tax year. you are better off buying turbo tax.
The Final Word
H&R Block puts direct links into online forms, giving clients insights into their questions during the application process. In addition, clients are walked through the online tax preparation filing process and are provided with several guarantees to provide peace of mind.
TurboTax’s biggest advantage is the automatic deduction recommendation in its software system. This can make a big difference in what your tax returns look like, making TurboTax our recommendation between the two.
