Wouldn't use any other tax preparation method ever

I have been using Turbotax since it was first introduced, not sure when that was but I have been doing returns for 30 years. Have also purchased the professional versions of intuit products for large corporations as wells as public accounting firms.
this causes some confusion as to whether i am repeating some answers. i am pretty sure it comes out correct , but it is not clear to me when one section overlaps into another area. the first two or three years i used turbo tax i did not notice problem.
What's great about it: it ask the correct questions
What's not so great: it seems to duplicate the figures from business to personal
Make the help (?) details in larger fonts.--it is very hard for us older folks to read these helpful screens.
Regarding sales tax computations for large purchases, TT does not recognize that there are different rates for different suburbs in the same Metro area. For example: I bought flooring from a company one mile from my town which has 8.25% sales tax rate, but my town's rate is 8%, TT rejects it. TT will let me "move" to another town for the tax difference, but I will have to "move" back and forth every time I purchase large items.
What's great about it: Used TT for many years. Very good product. See below for some enchancement ideas.
This is worth the money I paid. If you have all of your tax return papers and all other information you've gathered for the year, then do your taxes yourself with TurboTax.
What's great about it: walks you through everything
