TurboTax Is Not As Fast As Hoped

Normally I do too. But I installed a solar panel system this year and 30% of that comes back to me as a refund. So “it’s my money and I want it now” applies!

I should note that TurboTax bungles the Massachusetts state solar credit. The software fills out the unified credit schedule form but it doesn’t include the actual form you need for solar or wind credit. What makes it worse is that the software doesn’t even tell you this - I only lucked upon the information on a Q&A website. This forces you to grab the form yourself and file by mail.

Most states do, but you have to fill it out separately from the federal forms. Doing your taxes once is better than doing them twice. I’ll gladly pay for that convenience.

Any hot deals on TurboTax? Preferably without any surprise extras for state?

Costco @ $44.xx for federal + state is the price to beat so far.
