Tax Preparation Software Improves

By now, most people have received their tax forms and financial documents. This means that taxpayers are ready to get their tax returns completed and filed. The final step for most people involves choosing a tax preparation software, like Turbo Tax or H&R Block. For this year, that decision is a little bit more difficult. Companies have added new features this time around.

For instance, Turbo Tax now offers a mobile experience that’s identical to its desktop version. Users on iOS and Android devices will use exactly what desktop users do. Taxpayers can seamlessly switch from one version to another. Plus, all tax documents can be uploaded from a smartphone’s camera with ease. They have begun to implement a mobile first development method for this trusted program.

H&R Block, TaxAct, and Turbo Tax are offering their software for free once again for certain tax filers. Unlike previous years, users can access more features through the free versions. Most companies are going to charge extra for state returns, but Turbo Tax is offering the service free of charge to simple return users this year. Your income needs to be in a specific range to qualify.

Also, it’s important to note that CD versions of tax prep software are mostly gone although you can find a copy at some retail outlets. All other users will have to access the software over the Internet. This won’t affect too many users, although some taxpayers prefer the disk versions of their favorite software. For most companies, the install CD is still available, but that won’t be true in a couple of years.

More and more features have been added to Turbo Tax and other tax preparation software. As soon as users pass the Turbo Tax login, they will notice some of these changes!
