Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Although the CD/Download TurboTax software does allow direct entry on the forms, as Opus 17 said, you cannot just copy entries from paper tax forms into the TurboTax software. Most of the entries cannot be made directly on the forms that are filed, even in the CD/Download software. The information has to be entered in supporting forms and worksheets, and then it flows to the forms that are filed. It's usually easier and less error-prone to use the Step-by-Step interview.


How did the bookkeeper prepare the tax return? Did he or she use some other software or web site? If so, you should file the tax return with the software or web site that the bookkeeper used to prepare it.
