First of all,
I made an address change in Turbo Tax so that my current address would appear on the Federal and State tax returns. This seemed to take the changes correctly but when I finished and reviewed the PDF Federal and State tax returns, they still had the original mailing addresses and the new address information I supplied was not updated on the tax returns. I changed the mailing address from an Atlanta, Georgia address to a Stone Mountain, Georgia address. In addition to that, there is a question on the Georgia state tax form that asks about how much taxes were withheld for the Georgia State Pension fund in the years 1986-1988. How on earth do you think anyone remembers or has records pertaining to that information as far back as 37 years ago? If you don't answer this question, Turbo Tax will not let you continue with your submission.
The cost of using this tax software package is rather expensive. I chose the Premium version without technical assistance and it cost me $178.00. This must be one of the most expensive tax software programs on the planet. There are a number of Tax software programs accessible over the Web that are robust at a fraction of the cost. OnLine Taxes (OLT) can be used at a nominal cost and if you fall within the right income bracket there is no charge at all for Federal, State, and electronic submissions.
