This may be difficult to believe, but this is a
POSITIVE post re subjects.
Have been using TurboTax for 9 years now. Almost always, a relatively simple and step-by-step method to complete taxes. I use the online version (their site). All personal information is pre-filled, and typically steps you thru areas to confirm info and areas to enter income/tax data. I utilize the Deluxe version ($40). Over the years, TT has been a valuable way to complete taxes. A couple years, I had gone to an accountant to confirm, and they said TT is very good for general non-complex tax completion.
I'm a creature of habit, and desire to stay with what works for me (rather than use one of the TV-free tax people).
I completed the Fed taxes on 2/15 - E-filed, and requested an IRS check rather than direct deposit etc.
Check came in the mail yesterday. 2 weeks from file<>check. Props to IRS. And my refund was 60% more than 2018 tax refund (with similar income etc) Assuming due the 2019 fed tax cuts/exemption
