Turbo Tax Business 2013
on March 21, 2014
Posted by: Willming
I've used Turbo Tax for years. I tried one of those "other" Tax Softwares a few years ago and hated it so much I threw it away and bought Turbo Tax. The only negative experience i've ever had was with the 2013 Turbo Tax Home and Business. After loading the software on my Mac, the header said "Turbo Tax Deluxe". I uninstalled and re-installed the software with the same results. I returned to where I bought it and they exchanged it sighting a possible software issue. When I installed the new software guess what the header said ? "Turbo Tax Deluxe". Anyway, I started my taxes anyway hoping the software issue was simply the header. Nope, as soon as I started entering the business information Turbo Tax Deluxe recommended I upgrade to Turbo Tax Home and Business. So I did, and the remainder of my 2013 taxes went smoothly. Only issue I have is I had to pay for Turbo Tax Business at my local retailer, only to later have to pay for the Turbo Tax deluxe to Turbo Tax Home and Business upgrade.
What's great about it: Makes business taxes easy
What's not so great: 2013 software glitch
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Very helpful product

At the very end where the state return info is added - there are a lot of update tabs. It would be easier to just link these and to say yes/no if there's a need to enter the data there or not instead of having to manually click each item and go through all of them that way.
What's great about it: Ease of use - orderly process
What's not so great: Some areas aren't as well set up as others as far as ease of data entry

good but a little confusing
on March 21, 2014
Posted by: Btbt
When I wanted to go back to something, it was very hard to find the right screen and it would take me back to answering the original questions instead of showing me what I had already done. That was very annoying and confusing. When i was ready to submit electronically, it said it couldn't be done for some reason and I would have to do it by mail and pay by check. I wanted to go back and make sure the automatic withdrawal from my checking account I had filled out to pay my taxes was erased, but I couldn't get back to that screen. I finally called your service today to make sure about that and was told since it wasn't submitted, the payment would never go through. Hopefully, that is correct.
Another annoying problem is that when I close the documents and then want to open them later, sometimes I can't get to my return. I had to be really creative to reopen my records today. The file opened up empty at first and I had to search my computer to find it.
Finally, I would like to be able to save a PDF before I get to the print screen. It was not very obvious to me how to print my forms until I happened to see the PDF button on my print screen.
What's great about it: very easy to go through and answer questions
What's not so great: moving from section to section

I am independent contractor working as a courier. All I had to do was answer the questions and Turbo Tax did the rest. It sure has saved me a lot of headaches. I have used Turbo Tax for 15 years and wouldn't consider using any other such service.
What's great about it: Just answered the questions
What's not so great: Increase in price.

Ineffective error checking
on March 21, 2014
Posted by: NingTax
I was prevented from efiling for days to figure out an "error" in Form 4562 line 13 "Carryover of disallowed deduction to 2013." 2013 TurboTax reported carryover from 2012 to 2013 but insisted a calculation error in 2012 Form 4562. Apparently, the 2012 return passed review and error checking only to be singled out in 2013 return -- an example of poor algorithm. Why did the 2012 error checking routine overlooked the accuracy in the first place? I did not enter these numbers in error. TurboTax did the calculations.
What's great about it: Smooth interview approach
What's not so great: Lacking correlation with previous year's return
Pros: I bought or sold investments
