Editor's Review
Rather than prompting the user to fill in each form separately, TurboTax uses a custom questionnaire based on preferences set by the user. The answers to this questionnaire will then be used to used to complete several tax forms simultaneously. After the information supplied by the user has been applied to the proper forms, the software will then ask the user to verify that the information is filled in properly before it is officially added to the included eFile. Since the software gathers all of the information at once based on the occupational status of the user, there are no unnecessary questions asked.
TurboTax Deluxe maximizes the amount of deductions received by recommending all possible deductions based on the user's input. After the user has answered all of these questions the software quickly finds all deductions that apply to the current situation. TurboTax Deluxe has a massive database of over 350 tax deductions that can possibly benefit the user.
TurboTax Deluxe includes a feature called Life Events that will automatically edit tax return forms based on specific events in the user's life. This feature will make the proper adjustments in the event of house purchases, marriages, and other events that could possibly affect a tax return. The software also explains all changes thoroughly to help the user learn form the process.
TurboTax Deluxe also features the Audit Meter. The Audit Meter scans tax returns for triggers that could spawn a tax audit. As the user inputs information, the software scans the document and the special meter displays how likely an audit is based on the information provided. The feature will also let the user know how they can reduce their risk for an audit based on the same info.
TurboTax Basic also recognizes clerical errors, notifies the user, and then recommends a solution to each error. In fact, the developers of the software are so confident in its ability to prevent tax filing errors that it will pay any IRS penalties that are the result of using TurboTax. On top of all of these features, the user will also receive their tax return in less than 8 days, and the total return amount is calculated within the software in real time.
TurboTax Deluxe Federal with eFile with State for Tax Year 2009: What We Liked
The included eFile allows for faster returns, and instead of a check the user can receive the funds via direct deposit directly into their bank account.
The convenient search function makes finding specific tax forms quick and easy.
Simple enough that even the most novice tax filer can file their tax returns confidently.
Users can configure their tax returns to receive the highest possible return amount by comparing the benefits of filing for "sales tax paid" or "stat and local income tax paid".
The tips included in the software are written in easy to understand phrases with no technical jargon or elite language involved.
The software does a good job of walking novice tax payers through the process.
TurboTax Deluxe Federal with eFile with State for Tax Year 2009: What We Didn't Like
Although the software does simplify the tax filing process to some extent, the user still may need to know basic knowledge about filing taxes.
