[missymagic]

Is turbo tax the best program to use to file taxes??? This is the first year I need to file my taxes as head of household since my divorce. I never had to do them before because it was always done thru the business accountant. I am sure I can figure it out if pointed in the right direction. anyone????

I like Turbo Tax because it walks you through everything step by step. Very easy to understand. Also reviews your info and alerts you to anything that may be inaccurate. Also you are able to print it out and can check status of tax return on their website and of course can use direct deposit right into your account. I use it every year!

www.taxact.com is free for federal and 12.95 for state. I normally use Turbotax but this year I didn't because of the cost and the fact that there is a glitch with their state program that kept giving me an error.

I agree! It's the only one I've ever tried and I've been very pleased with how easy it is to use.

We used to use Turbo Tax but switched to TaxCut. We changed the year TurboTax added that spyware kind of program to the disk that couldn't be removed from computers. I refused to play that game and TuxCut has been great. I think TurboTax eliminated the 'extra' after that year because of complaints and a huge decline in sales because of it. Both work pretty much the same way and walk you through. Tax Cut was $19.97 at Wal-Mart and it incluses state and a free efile for your federal by way of a rebate.

I've been using H&R Block online for the past few years. Last year I did it through the IRS site for free (we don't have state/local taxes to deal with).

I have used Turbo Tax for several years now and it seems to fit my needs.

I've used TaxCut for the last 6 or 7 years, and I find it's pretty easy to navigate.
