Alert messages are inadequate
on April 3, 2014
Posted by: HM59
Why can't you take the time to provide complete explanations to troubleshoot data entry problems detected during the final review? Your writers need to put themselves in the shoes of someone who does not have every IRS rule memorized. I spent an hour on a wild goose chase before finally going to the IRS website and getting the full picture, which could have been provided in the alert message in one or two added sentences.

Cars no so

I have used Turbo Tax for years. Each year I seem to have problems with the review section. The mileage for my business auto and the total mileage fail to replicate from my entries on the work sheet to the final review form. Also the questions about the business auto do not transfer. Seems problematic. You need to fix this.

The step by step instructions were very helpful. When I needed help it was given above and beyond the call of duty. She was super.

Quick and easy

TurboTax was easy to use. I created my own tax return and then my cousin's tax return. We were both very pleased with the depth of questions - more thorough than a similarly priced "tax service" would be.
On my home&business return I had to manually erase a couple of entries that TurboTax had created, but since I knew that they did not apply, I was not concerned.
Since my cousin was due a refund, we used the free federal e-file option for her return. Since the state e-file would eat into her refund, and since Virginia is very quick, we opted for the paper filing for the state return. Two hours and done!
Now that all federal e-file is free for more than one tax return, I used e-file for my federal tax return as well. I can still put off sending the IRS a check until the last minute. :) Like my cousin, I opted for paper filing for the state return.

Keeping up with complicated changes
on April 3, 2014
Posted by: Larry15R
I have been doing my taxes with turbo tax for more than 10 years. TT has done an excellent job keeping up with the ever increasing complexity of the tax code as well as keeping track of my data and entries year to year to aid in accurate filing for next year.
The only problem I have found is that stock sales that generate gains/losses for partnerships are reported by both the brokerage companies (on 1099) and by the partnership on K-1s. The TT program imports both of these and therefore the gain/loss is reported twice, with the brokerage reporting needing to be removed since the K-1 has the appropriate basis cost.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

good and bad

As it turns out, we only neeeded the premier version, not the home and business version. If you have only one rental or dividends, it may not be necessary to use the business version. Also, as noted, things are in a different order than the 1040 as you go through question and answer. This meant I had to keep going on blind faith that they would get to something. It really helps to be able to go back and forth to the forms, and I feel like the present question and answer is actually more difficult than older versions that used the same wording as the forms, but explained it. As it was I got lost a couple of times this year, and I've been doing my own taxes with turbotax for 13 years
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
