Standout Features
New for Deluxe:
Of all the tax service options we reviewed, TurboTax Deluxe was the most logically arranged and quick to move through. We were able to easily switch from filling out federal tax information to asking the TurboTax online community a question and then back. One of the features we especially liked is that it groups related items together and asks you to check the ones that apply to you. It saves you time from answering "no" question after question.
Every year it becomes easier for people without accounting experience to file their own taxes, thanks to the ever-improving online options. TurboTax has kept their software intuitive and explanations simple. It follows a linear process so all you need to do is answer the questions in front of you and if you don't know what answer to give, check the extensive Help section. This program also asks you to check easy to understand items, like “I am single” or “I own my home,” simple stuff; it is not packed with legal jargon. If you don’t understand what the question is really asking, then you can click on “Explain This” next to the question and you will have a brief explanation. TurboTax is also very good at giving you every opportunity to claim deductions, automatically checks your return for common errors or missed deductions, and checks again before you file your return. If you are still unsure of yourself, you can even get professional tax advice for an additional fee.
TurboTax accounts are easy to set up. Create your user name, choose your password, pick a security question and answer combination, give them your email address and you’re done! TurboTax saves your information so you can come back and work on your tax forms anytime. Or you can try it out anonymously and create an account later.
