Yes, I've wanted to learn the basis of using turbo tax software. It seems very simple to apply information. The instructor were very clear and precise.

By Perla Soto on 12/22/2022

It was a general explanation, I need more information. He explained it clear.

By Vickie Sanders on 8/30/2022

It's a nice overview, however, I thought it would be a little more specific in some of the areas. I'm certain I could have just followed the prompts in the Turbo Tax software without taking this course. But it's nice this course is available online for a sneak preview of Turbo Tax AND the fact it's a cheap course.

By Anonymized User on 4/12/2022

Its pretty straight forward. I do have an issue with Section 2, Assignment 1, it is not allowing me to complete that part.

By Ernesto Martinez on 3/24/2021

I really enjoyed this lecture and plan on filing my own taxes this year it looked fairly easy and the explanations were great Thank you.

By Daylin Martin on 2/17/2021

The only reason i didnt give a 5 star is because the curse is for 2015 taxes,maybe was my fault cause i disnt check first but at least others can know that but the teacher was very knowledge and went through all the process step by step, really good I highly recommend it

courses looks like unfinished and cropped. the video editing was so bad. the course provides only very basic information that you can know just by yourself if you just read.

By Claudia Molina on 2/8/2018
