Improve Assesability
on April 7, 2014
Posted by: darkdaddy
I am legally blind and use a software screen reader called zoom text. I found that my screen reader had difficulty reading the text in turbo tax 2013. I have used this screen reader on other intuit products and have had no problems. I suggest that you improve your acsessability features in Turbo Tax. There is a growing population with visual problems.

Bad Ommissions by Turbo Tax
on April 7, 2014
Posted by: Rich11194
No option to apply a refund to next years taxes appeared on the window where you specified what to do with the refund. You could only mail a check to yourself or direct deposit to your bank. You had to go to community help and then struggle through getting to the correct place.
You could not change the amount on the ES forms for printing. You were stuck with what TT calculated. Since Obamacare is wiping out my medical deduction (10% of income disallowed in 2014 versus 7.5% disallowed in 2013); mortgage interest will go down and a large Charity contribution will disappear, my taxes will go up on the same income.
There was no help at all to calculate the minimum required distribution (RMD) for IRAs. Your age is known. The 12/31/2013 val;ue of your IRAs, 401ks and 403bs is known. Turbotax should calculate your RMD and warn you so that tax penalties can be avoided. This is a standard service if you hire an outside agent to do your taxes.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Worst Year for TurboTax
on April 7, 2014
Posted by: yottabit
The interface is getting clunky. It really needs an overhaul to make going back and forth between pages more intuitive rather than skipping back to the beginning of an entire section.
Furthermore, it wouldn't let me file Ohio because the program had a bug relating to the Ohio SD100ES School District Tax forms saying they weren't ready from the state yet, when even Intuit's own website said they were. Once they *finally* fixed that bug on 3/31, it still didn't allow anywhere to put in the estimated SD100ES payments that had been made; even after I found the place on the forms manually and put in my estimated payments, TurboTax still said I owed the entire amount plus interest from last year's SD100ES which isn't true.
I've used TurboTax for ten years, with a short break using TaxCut for a few years when TurboTax started installing DRM malware on computers. (Once they stopped that practice I went back because I always liked TurboTax better than TaxCut.) However, this year TurboTax has been downright awful to use. If I have any more problems like this for TY2014 I will just switch to TaxCut again.

Concise Program
on April 7, 2014
Posted by: DrBurn
First year filing a return as a Sole Member LLC. Would like to see business expense category "Inventory" renamed and/or reclassified to state cost of goods produced for those who do not carry physical inventory.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I moved

Definitely download the software
on April 7, 2014
Posted by: latosch
I would definitely recommend downloading the software for individuals who may need to run several different options in order to determine which filing details will be most beneficial. With the online version, you can't save multiple version and have serious limitations in flexibility.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
