TurboTax Home & Business 2024 Tax Software, Federal & State Tax Return [PC/MAC (MacOS Ventura 13 or Sonoma 14 is required for TurboTax Desktop 2024) Download

I confess that I have used TT for my taxes for a few decades. But I have had no thoughts to go elsewhere. Does a nice job if you use it more than one year to bring information forward.1 However, if you have to modify you taxes for any reason, there doesn't seem to be a way to correct the information from the previous year. At least, it's not obvious.2 It also does not remember (when you go through a dialog the 2nd time) the choices made the previous time through. (It does remember the dollars you've entered.) This would save me some time but maybe not everyone.3 Would be nice if it put blank pages in odd number of page-forms so that you could print front and back legally for IRS submittals. As a result, it's a pain the print either one page per sheet or go through methodically and print forms to submit.Still a bit of work to do your taxes.Almost perfect!

I had been renewing my turbo tax yearly at a higher price, but the price here on Amazon is a better bargain. Turbo Tax is simple and you can get your taxes done in no time as long as you have all the documents needed.

I have been using TurboTax for many years and I have been happy with it. This year, something changed. This year was the first year, I had to Mail my return in. TurboTax did not finish the return, something to do with last year's return, numbers on a certain line, was not entered. Every time I tried to fix the problem, TurboTax would delete the fix. I'm thinking bad programing. I mailed my return in and IRS accepted it.

All I need is someone to input all the data for me. Actually TT has a feature that can input all your data from Quicken and other check writing/accounting software, and it can connect via internet to any investment firm and download your investment returns, but I do it all manually, because I have found errors just letting the software take over. Not big ones, but... it's the IRS you know, they have no sense of humor.

I have been using "TurboTax Home & Business" for decades, but this year will be my last. Over the past three years, I’ve meticulously compared TurboTax to other tax software, including FreeTaxUSA, Cash App Tax, TaxSlayer, H&R Block, and others. Each year, I input identical information and options into all the programs for comparison. While TurboTax initially seemed marginally better than most, I chose to file with it because it was well-known and I believed its software would account for every detail accurately. However, over the last three years, TurboTax has consistently caused issues with the mortgage interest I paid. Each time, I had to manually adjust the settings, which resulted in recalculated figures that differed by thousands of dollars.When it comes to taxes, the phrase "money talks" truly applies. Like most people, I prefer receiving a larger refund or paying less. Unfortunately, TurboTax consistently resulted in me paying more or receiving a lower refund compared to other platforms. I also noticed that its "Home & Business" version produced better results in terms of refunds or payments, but I questioned why the lower-tier versions didn’t perform similarly. This year, TurboTax indicated that I owed $4,500, while FreeTaxUSA reported $4,000, and Cash App Tax reported $3,700. Upon reviewing the finalized PDF files from each program, I found identical information across all of them (on the actual paper forms), yet TurboTax’s calculations were inexplicably higher—by nearly $1,000 in some cases.Moreover, TurboTax added a penalty/interest to my IRS balance, despite the fact that I wasn’t late to file and didn’t owe any balances from previous years. None of the other software platforms included this penalty. After three years of careful comparison, I’ve decided I can no longer justify using TurboTax. Not only has it resulted in me giving unnecessary funds to the IRS, but I’ve also wasted money purchasing the software itself. Additionally, the responses to my questions on TurboTax’s user forums were inaccurate, and the IRS later confirmed the correct answers — answers that other tax software platforms provide correctly.For instance, when I inquired int he Forum about whether my mortgage loan qualified as a refinance, their TurboTax "Expert" agents gave incorrect guidance, whereas other platforms handled this detail properly (based on the answer I got directly from the IRS). Ultimately, I opted for Cash App Tax because not only did it save me $1,000 compared to TurboTax, but it was also completely free for all users, regardless of income level. While TurboTax struggled to import my information from PDF files correctly, resulting in numerous manual corrections, other programs imported all the data flawlessly and without errors. Between the frequent glitches and the higher costs (extra money given to the IRS and buying the software), TurboTax no longer makes sense for me. This year’s comparisons confirmed that Cash App Tax is by far the best option.I hope this review proves helpful. Several online platforms, including FreeTaxUSA, Cash App Tax, TaxSlayer, H&R Block, TaxAct, and the IRS website, allow you to create free accounts. You can input your information and numbers to receive live tax estimates without any obligation to file. You can stop at any point before being asked if you're ready to file, giving you the flexibility to review and compare the final numbers across all these platforms. I encourage you to try it yourself and see the results firsthand, rather than relying solely on my advice.

Yep, it's Turbo Tax...my situation can get complex so I need the Home and Business edition. I appreciate the fact that I can buy it from Amazon and download it within minutes of placing the order.The software itself is easy to use and reasonably-well designed so that you can navigate to where you want to go without a lot of fuss. Also nice that I can do my son's very simple Federal and State returns after completing my own -- we just print them out and send them snail-mail.

I have used TurboTax for years. I hate doing taxes, yet this product helps make them easier. For $60 extra for live help, it made the processes doable. The professional tax people are the best!

I have to admit I am old school where I was so irritated at Turbo Tax that there was no CD to purchase this year; then I saw so many negative reviews with Amazon download issues where I almost went to Turbo Tax site directly to purchase and download from there...but I took a chance with Amazon since their price was significantly lower and I have been with Amazon for so long and very rarely have issues. So glad I stayed with Amazon; the purchase and download was so smooth and so fast ..less than 5 min; the download alone seemed like a minute or less. It was a breeze; in fact faster than putting CD into computer and doing that route. I have to admit I am pretty impressed thus far.
