Ever Bought a House and Used TurboTax for that year?

Recommended Posts

Just wondered if anyone ever bought a house and then used TurboTax that tax year to report it. Did it capture everything, i.e. moving expenses, closing costs, association fees, financing charges? Was it easy to use for that portion? Anyway to determine if you missed anything?

I have used TurboTax for the past six years or so, but was renting. This is the first time with a house. Any insights would be appreciated.
Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Yes, and I think it got everything. I didn't end up getting a tax break that year because I bought so late in the year (late October), but I've used it since then and it makes dealing with all the tax implications of home ownership very easy.

Yes. And yes.

Turbotax works great for simple home purchase and ownership type transactions.

It does have some trouble if you start making more complex transactions involving rentals, exchanges, etc.

What she said...

and you can't deduct HOA dues as an expense. Sux, but that's life.
