Income Tax Prep

We seem to have problems finding anyone who really knows what they are doing for US with income tax returns. I have $$ withheld from my SSDI to assure we get $$ back when filing.

Evidentally this is quite uncommon & just about every year we have issues. Whether it just be a data entry person with no real training or an actual CPA.

I was thinking of just doing it ourselves this year. Years ago I use to, but we have itemized deductions since jazmine & thought I couldnt handle it.

I dont think I could do any worse then those we have been paying big $$ to do. One thing about Turbo Tax online is you can enter your info etc & see what the estimated refund would be (good to compare to the past) before committing & paying to file it.

I was wondering if anyone has used Turbo Tax & has any additional comments......

I have never tried Turbo Tax, we have used Tax Cut for about 5-6 years now w/o any issues. It has always done a good job with deductions, including our adoption credits. But I haven't tried with SSI.

I would expect either would work though as they are very detailed in catching things.

My husband and his boss have been using turbotax for years -- 'course they're both math geeks <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I don't deal with it at all, but I do know they think the program is fairly easy to use and gives them lots of different options for deductions --- when we replaced the windows on our house there was an option for entering something with energy savings.

I use Turbo Tax software (not online) I like it that way, because I don't have to be connected to the internet until I'm ready to file. And I save the receipt each year and can use it as a deduction the following year.

I love it and wouldn't do taxes any other way!!!
