Review

It's an easy way to do your do your tax return preparation without complications.

Before I purchased the TurboTax Basic Software, I thought long and hard because I just didn't believe that I would really be able to do my own taxes.

For your needs you need to look at what edition will be the best fit for you situation. Basic filing is really for those simple returns that entail a fixed job and limited forms like 1040 and 1040ez.

For a lot of Americans this is all they need to complete there filing process with ease, and to ensure your getting all the deductions you can to increase your refund.  Refunds are what we want right? After all, Uncle Samuel isn't typically looking out for our best interest is he...

To my surprise, this software made it so quick and simple! that I had to write about it. It asked all the right questions to eliminate unnecessarily wasting my time. It discovered the basics of my situation through a series of questions designed to remove areas of preparation that simply didn't apply to me. This meant I didn't need to try and slog my way through the often cryptic and confusing language of legal forms and tax jargon. It took me just under an hour to complete my return and it did all of the math calculations for me - which is something I just don't like to do.

If your considering saving money by doing your taxes yourself, I recommend TurboTax Software for the job. It's just a easy way to go if you want a simple to follow guided return preparation process.

Use TurboTax Basic if

• You file a 1040EZ or other simple return

• You own your home but don’t have a mortgage

• You rent your home

What I found especially pleasing about this product was the way it packaged up sections of the interview process to get me moving in the right direction, all while eliminating sections that just didn't apply to me. I hate fumbling through paragraphs and questions that aren't needed based on my filing needs.

Another thing that impressed me was the multiple sources of easy to use guidance and help. It seems no matter where I was in the preparation process, there was always support to help if I didn't understand, or needed more information. Seems they have really used the years of experience to cover all the issues that have come up year after year.

One thing I can tell you is that this software has made me a better filer for myself. It really taught me a lot about taxation, benefits, credits and mostly all the money I had been giving away to the IRS because I didn't know any better.

Knowledge is king and this product really makes you a smarter person for yourself and your finances.
