TurboTax Home & Business for the Year 2024

by Howard Berenbon

It’s nearing April 15, Federal and State income tax filing date and I have been right on it using TurboTax Home & Business for Year 2024. I purchased the product at Costco in January for around $75. This was a savings of $20 from the $95 price.  It includes 5 Federal filings and one state download.  This is my 21st year using TurboTax and it’s been really successful for me. I have had very little problems over the years, and I’ve noticed improvements to the data entry and filing.  This year I was surprised by the change in format for entering interest and dividend income.  It added an extra step for entry.  I like it can take last year’s entries and that it knows what institutions you’ve entered from the previous years and asks if you are still getting income from these organizations.  The menu format for entering this information was a bit different, which added more steps for each type of interest or dividend entry.  I preferred last year’s format better.  However, that said, it did not slow me down or mess up my entries.  Everything worked out fine.  I just liked last year’s format best. For me, TurboTax is here to handle my business and personal taxes, Federal and state, covering all my requirements.  Once you gather your documents, you’re home free.  I spent just 3 days to complete the taxes filing in early March for my two daughters and me and my wife.  And all the returns were accepted within 2 days.

This is the first year I did not get the software on CD; it was not available.  It was a download, which went smoothly. When finished, I saved and printed copies of the returns for our records.
