Take the mystery and confusion out of filing your taxes

Preparing your taxes with Turbotax Basic may make this year's tax season the easiest you've ever experience. Turbotax Basic offers many excellent benefits for people that have basic tax filing needs.

Turbotax Basic walks you through your federal tax forms step by step, inputting your answers right onto IRS approved forms. One of the products highlights for people who are otherwise uncomfortable filing their own taxes is that Turbotax Basic uses easy to understand language. You don't need to be an accountant to understand how to prepare your taxes!

Turbotax Basic even double-checks your answers and information before completing your tax forms. The software even guarantees the accuracy of its calculations!

Turbotax Basic even gives you the option of printing the forms and mailing them in or E-filing. When you E-file you will quickly receive confirmation from the IRS and your direct deposit can appear in less than ten days!

I found this software user friendly and convenient. I particularly appreciated the ability to transfer past tax information onto current forms.

The only drawback to this product is that if you require more advanced tax preparation services this product will not meet your needs. I live in a state that does not have state taxes so I did not need software for state taxes, if you require this additional service look for something other than the basic program.

Overall I give this application 4 out of 5 starts.
