Turbo Tax Premier

Turbo Tax Premier edition is recommended for those with investment related income during the tax year. An example of investment income is if you received a consolidated form 1099 from your broker, which reports Interest Income (Form 1099-INT), Dividends and Distributions (Form 1099-DIV), Proceeds From Broker & Barter Exchange Transactions (Form 1099-B), and Miscellaneous Income (Form 1099-MISC). Turbo Tax Premier also handles 401k contributions, retirement, and rental property deductions.

Turbo Tax Premier will:

• Import your investment information directly from your financial institution to help save time.
• Walk you through sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and calculates capital gains and losses.
• Report employee stock plan  transactions and provide tax guidance.
• Show you the benefit of increasing 401k contributions so that you can save even more on taxes.
• Find rental property deductions like travel, advertising, repairs, insurance and others that you might overlook.
• Maximize home refinancing deductions such as reporting points, appraisal fees, costs and more.
• Explain the impact of job changes, getting married, buying a new home, having a baby, and other common life changes.

TurboTax Online Software Comparison and Price

TurboTax let’s you try their online software for free which is an additional benefit compared to purchasing the download or CD editions.

Once you complete your federal tax return, you can chose to transfer your tax filing information to the TurboTax State online software edition that matches the federal edition you wish to purchase for an additional charge.

TaxCut software and online users looking to file their 2009 income tax refund or balance due should note that TaxCut software is now branded as H&R Block At Home. H&R Block At Home software and online versions will import your 2008 or prior year tax information from TaxCut, TurboTax, and other popular income tax preparation software.

The name change from TaxCut to H&R Block At Home was revealed in a conference call last December. The idea is to use the H&R Block brand name to its fullest, and to help tax filers understand that they have options – visit any H&R Block store, file online, download software online, or purchase software from a leading retailer like Walmart.

Turbo Tax Free and the other Turbo Tax CD / Download editions are available on our site. This year free efile is included with your purchase of any Turbo Tax Online or Turbo Tax CD / Download software editions.

IRS begins the 2009 income tax return season this month and has announced that IRS efile opens on January 15, 2010. IRS efile as we discuss on our web site is the process of filing out your federal income tax return and sending it to the IRS electronically versus sending your income tax return to the IRS through the mail.

According to the IRS web site, the efile service rolled out nationally in 1990 and delivered 4.2 million income tax returns. Last year the IRS efile service delivered over 95 million income tax returns or about 66% of all filed tax returns.

The free tax software found on our web site can be used to efile your IRS tax forms online or through the purchase of premium software. To get your income tax refund as fast as possible, choose the direct deposit option. The leading income tax software providers H&R Block, Turbo Tax, and Tax Act are quoting 8 days as the number of days to receive your IRS tax refund using the direct deposit option. The IRS states “in as few as 10 days” on their web site.

In contrast if you are planning to mail in your IRS tax refund and receive an IRS refund check by mail, that could take up to 6 weeks! For sure it is much faster to efile.

TaxCut Free edition is available to those who qualify and efile their income tax return online. Also available online, by download, or as a CD by mail are the popular H&R Block TaxCut software editions:

• TaxCut Basic
• TaxCut Premium
• TaxCut Home & Business
• TaxCut Deduction Pro
• H&R Block Signature
• H&R Block Online Office

Of all the H&R Block TaxCut software available today, we like the H&R Block Signature software product the best. Starting at just $79.95 you get year your tax advice from an H&R Block tax professional, support in the case of a tax audit, and additional H&R Block guarantees that you might not find elsewhere. H&R Block Signature is similar to TaxCut in that you prepare your income tax return yourself online, then, an H&R Block tax professional will review, comment, edit, sign, and efile your forms.
