Could use help finding Form 8060

Last year 2012 I did an IRA to ROTH conversion resulting in Form 8606 when I tried to do it again I could not find where to enter the data. Also I discovered that I needed to do this conversion before the end of the year rather than prior to April 15.
Over all thanks for the good program.
What's not so great: Hard to find 'Conversion of Std IRA to Roth'

TurboTax Home & Business

I am a longtime TurboTax user and the program is still performing great. It handles K-1's which is no small feat. The ready comparison to last year's entries takes a lot of work out of the process.
On my older Windows 7 computer I could not get automatic software updates to work, even after quite a bit of effort. I did the update manually and never did try to contact Tech Support.
What's great about it: Continues to calculate taxes easily and accurately
What's not so great: Automatic software updates could not be made to work on my Windows 7 computer
Pros: I bought or sold investments

new version
on April 8, 2014

By changing the version without proper notification, I was totally confused at the end of entering my data. I knew the figures were not correct and had to call your home office. The man walked me through and said my upgraded version was on my PC and I should be able to access the business section which I was. I can only presume there was a time delay in upgrading to the version. For this privilege, it cost me an additional $40..00 just to enter a Schedule C. I believe that is to much money for one section.
What's great about it: Not my favorite version
What's not so great: You changed this year your Deluxe version that did not include home business.

I have used Turbo Tax for my Federal Taxes for over 12 years. Because my life is getting more complicated with retirement income and a business it is becoming harder to have Turbo Tax lead me through the process.
I sometimes know what I need to find, but the search doesn't allow me to find it. Example: Sales/Use Tax could not be found and finding Use Tax did not get me to where I needed to be. Also I missed the depreciation sections, had to go back and fine it (that could be my fault)
Since a 5 year depreciation will mean entering it for the next 4 years, I sure hope the tool reminds me of this over those years.
In general... a good tool and much cheaper than going to a tax preparer that will use a tool much like this one.
What's great about it: Pretty easy to follow and Efile is good.
What's not so great: Help is limited to title they provide.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

First use of TurboTax Home & Business
on April 8, 2014
Posted by: GKtax01
from Battle Ground, WA
First time in using TurboTax for Home and Business. History: Prior years, manually figured off QuickBooks Pro and work sheets to separate expenses for Schedule C, 1040 & SE. Recent years had CPA firm. To cut costs, we decided to eliminate CPA cost. (Only used them to limit possible audit selection). I manually did tax return to run in tandem with this go around. Once I got familiar with how to get around in placing figures, where we needed them on the 1040, Schedule C and viewing actual tax forms. TurboTax produced the exact same results as our manual figured return. Look forward to using this next year.
What's great about it: Once figured out for flow of information, does a good job
What's not so great: some areas to place Cogs not as easy to get to screen

TurboTax Business 2013 and Home and Business 2013
on April 8, 2014

from New Orleans, LA
Unknowingly using some anti virus software can cause issues with TurboTax Business 2013 and TurboTax Home and Business 2013 which will require payment to tech support to correct.
What's great about it: Easy to use in the normal situation.
What's not so great: No assistance for LLC with 2 members choosing , as required by IRS, filing as a partnership, when one partner dies.
