Well, I am officially disappointed in TurboTax.
I had 2 jobs in 2007, one for the first 6 months, one for the last 6 months. I made $5,000* each on both jobs. So $10k* for the entire year. I put the w-2 of first job into TurboTax. It says I'm getting $500* back. I put second w-2 in expecting another $500*, it says now that I'm getting $300* back. I make double the money and I get less money back apparantly. What more is...I only worked 6 months in 2006, making $5k* for the entire year. I got $700* back. I make $5k* more than the year before, yet my return is somehow $500* less. GOBBLE GOBBLE. Wanna know something weird? If I delete first job off, I'm getting $500* back. If I delete second job off, I'm getting $500* back. $500* each for both but if I have them on the report at the same time it's $300 back. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MATH!!!!! I remembered that I had a similar problem last year. TurboTax Online and TurboTax on cd gave me different returns.
Any recommendations on tax preparation programs? Anyone use TaxCut? I'm wanting to move to Sacramento with this return so I am wanting to send the darn thing in ASAP.
