I usually go to H&R Crap to have them do my taxes, but this is the first year where we didn't NEED the money ASAP. I tried it on H&R Crap's website then Turbo Tax, TT got me $600 more than H&R Crap. This is also the first time I have done the direct deposit option, has anyone ever done this option? If so, does it take as long as if it were mailed, or less time?
KHM, I did TT web last year, and received my DD in 8 days. This year I missed the cutoff, and it will be 15 days. Maybe this will help: http://www.taxact.com/products/efcych.html
i did TT web too! When is the cutoff date you're speaking of? Could I possibly get my return next week??!
Andrew, Look at the link for the dates. By cutoff, I mean I did my taxes on the morning of the 31st, but it wasn't accepted by the IRS until late that evening. Since the cutoff is 12 Noon, I have to wait another whole week (Feb 15 instead of Feb 8)
Yup, did my own taxes via TT. The direct depoist is a great option. I remember it was like a solid 10 days before it showed up in our checking account. Best regards, Mirage
I used it last year, it is great!! Highly recommend it!!! Bought it from Wal-Mart only $20 alot cheaper than H&R crap! 2 weeks isn't bad to wait without paying all of that interest for the instant loan.
Re: Just an FYI I did mine through taxact.com and had no problems. I received mine last month and have used it the year before. I don't know how much TT is but taxact is only about $12 depending on how you file your taxes, like including state and federal or whatever. It's really easy to follow and I love the software.
Re: Just an FYI YEEHAW!!! Mine was accepted 2/6, so Hopefully i'll get mine in a week! BTW, I didnt really like how TT was setup, kind of complicated, considering it's my first year filing a state return. I don't understand why they charged me $13 for a state return when Mass. wont let me Efile my first time filing. All well, it's gonna be nice to get my federal then state then my cash from hubbys lawsuit then my lawsuit errrr maybe I shouldn't count my chickens....
I've used this software every year for the past 10 years. It rocks and will handle even very coomplicated taxes like mine.
Well we got to claim mortgage interest, my milage (I'm a nurse) and I work a weekend job, DH is a truck driver so we get to claim his per diem which is $85 per day, and we had some charity stuff to claim. It worked out great this year. I'm using about $2500 to pay off some things they agreed to delete for payment in full and the rest..who knows?
I used TT for the first time this year and recieved 1400.00 more back than iI figured with H&R block on-line.THat web site was great!! I will be getting mine tomorrow!!
