The instructions were easy to follow and when I needed an answer for a question, Shonna called and was super helpful! I will be a return customer for years to come."

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Turbo tax worked well but it's a slow process Turbo tax worked fine. However, I would like to see the completed pages of the 1040 as I work on it. For instance, I want to review Schedule A immediately, and my entries. I thought it actually was more time-consuming than completing the IRS forms individually. The main advantage is that it totals/adds all your figures, so you don't have to double check. However, I felt like I lost control of my tax return by e-filing. I like completing the return better myself without being online. I think it takes less time. However, I guess the advantage is getting a refund much quicker. I did this return after hours, so I wasn't able to get answers to all my questions. I didn't want to report one of my withholdings, and I didn't feel like I could remove it. It automatically added a PA tax withholding to my itemized deductions, and I didn't want it added, because I'm trying to get a refund from PA, since I have not worked within the Pittsburgh city limits in many years. I would have like to speak to someone live, but it was after hours.
