Good but sometimes frustrating

I have used Turbo Tax off and on for many years. Overall I find it easy to use and helpful, and will continue to use it, but as I have gotten older and more complicated, I have found it less perfect. On foreign related income it is less useful, and I had to do additional research to answer my problem. This biggest additional problem I had this year was with the update process which didn't run as smoothly or completely as before.
What's great about it: Easy to use, helpful
What's not so great: Updating and filing challenges, not so helpful with foreign related issues
I've used Turbo Tax for as long as I can remember. Most likely from the first year it was available. I know what to expect each year and can easily follow the interview process. I can't imagine using any other software or service to prepare my income taxes each year.
Once again, this has been a pretty painless process and it was done in a short amount of time. I especially like that I can import last years information at the click of a mouse.
What's great about it: step by step instructions
What's not so great: wish the state e-file charge was included...
Turbo tax is the most awesome program for finishing your taxes completely. Step by step instruction and areas covered you don't realize will help you get the best return. Just a great way to complete your taxes yourself at your own time & pace. Upon completing, pat yourself on the back for a job well done with the Turbo Tax professionals!!
Have used TurboTax for years and generally find it to be worth the money. However, this year's transfer of information from my 2012 return correctly put the amount in the question/answer worksheet, but did not carry this over to the final 1040. Judging by the number of queries about this, it seems to be an unresolved problem, not a matter of misunderstanding the state tax calculation. The workaround to enter the correct amount in the worksheet is not a problem--it's the transfer of the information to the final return that is. If I'm audited, it's on TurboTax'es dime, so to speak!
What's great about it: None
What's not so great: Unable to override TurboTax and manually enter the correct amount for state tax refund on line 10 of the 1040.
