Good But Not Great...
on April 3, 2014

from Fairfax Station, VA
This software has allowed my family to file a complicated tax document with relative ease. With multiple rental units, self-employment, and other tax variables, our return is tricky. I feel confident that we file an accurate form.
On the negative side, I cannot comprehend why some boxes have to be rechecked if you jump around in the forms. This can be very annoying. Also, the updates never seem to end each year, even well pasted the filing deadline. That is very disturbing. Why (for example) would the 2012 software be updated well into the summer of 2013?
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Multiple re-entries, many updates

Better this year
on April 3, 2014

This year's edition (and I go back to when I got MacInTax on floppy discs) is a noticable improvement from recent years. Careful wording of the interviews show solid work.
Be on the lookout for / work on /these issues in 2014:
--For us Sched C types, make sure that health insurance
is put in the return where it is most advantageous. In Sked C?
Or as part of itemized deductions?
--Also, if we tweak the Sched C with new-found expenses,
the "maximize" feature on SEP deductions does not
recalculate accurately through the return. The old number
showed up as an error someplace just before I filed.
--For Massachusetts filers, attention needs to be focused
on the Health Insurance question. Right now it is a tad cumbersome--why ask about the coverage of each and every family member one at a time?
Overall, a big improvement. This is the first year I wasn't stymied by something--came close though!

life saver...money, too
on April 3, 2014
Posted by: bowwan

It took a very long time and many reviews and revisions were required to file an accurate return. In general, though, I saved money by Turbo Tax calculating the math, importing financial investment information, and finding federal tax credits for me. Without Turbo Tax, I would have spent hours with a tax preparation expert. Telephone support was great. Thanks John!
What's great about it: Aids in filing complex returns. saves on preparation fees.
What's not so great: Sometimes get led astray by answering yes or no, leading to missing items or entering them in the wrong section.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Excellent but it would be great if you would include FBAR form 114 (Formerly form TD F 90-22.1) in your software.
What's great about it: Improved from last year
What's not so great: Need FBAR form 114 as well
