I am using Turbo Tax online for only $65 with coupon. I will be getting it done by this week so we should get our refund around March 18th or before.

I used to do my own, then the hubs convinced me to hire someone last year... she found a whole bunch of extras to help us get a much higher return than we anticipated. Hiring someone again this year

I used the Turbo Tax download, I like it better than the online. You are able to SEE all the forms you filled out. I could even print the forms to check for any errors first

i will never. ever. EVER use turbo tax again. I filed on 1/27, was told my refund would process 2/15, was told my refund would be direct deposited on 2/25, then 3/1, then 3/8, NOW it's delayed: reference number 1481..

my tax return has the correct banking info, but turbo tax entered it wrong somewhere and that's why it's delayed...it could take 6-8 weeks to finally get a paper check.

TaxAct online for $10. I've always used TA, but this is my first year with business income. I filed around 2 weeks ago and should get the refund this weekend.

I've compared them side by side and Turbo Tax is more comprehensive for self-employed/1099 employees. I run a daycare, one son owns and operates a lawn care business and the other is a 1099 employee. I have always felt very comfortable with TT; I've used it forever.

None of us ever gets a refund, but we owe less when I use TT
