Almost fool proof.

Overall 7.5 in a 10 scale.
Need to be a little smart on extracting last year worksheet info, every year I have to type the same concepts ie: expense of "Magazine and subscriptions", etc. this will save lots of typing for self employed and mid/top professionals.
Needs a better search engine when looking into community for answer to tax situations that apply to you, that will make the confident on the software better.
Transferring from Quicken should be a better wizard with a two columns concept with headings, concepts and breakdown and the chance to adjust the amounts, very use full for self-employed or small business that keep accounting records but have not had time to review and fix the errors that banks or quicken do with auto-classification of the expenses.
What's great about it: Easy to use, fast and provide instant help
What's not so great: Need more real example of situations that apply

make the complicated easy

software was very easy to work with most of the time and the pull down explanations were excellent. Also the ability to import brokerage information was incredibly easy and a great feature that had to save me 16 hours of inputting time.
Can't imagine another software package delivering such a robust package. As much as I hate doing my taxes, Turbo tax took most of the pain out of that chore.
Wonderful software!!.

About as easy as it gets for DIY

I've been using TurboTax for the last 15 years. It seems to get a little easier each year. However, its still hard to track where everything is getting placed in the IRS documents. If I have to go outside the interview process, I'm totally lost ...and some of the explanations are easy enough to help me. Still I have always felt its worth the money to be able to step through the process.
What's great about it: Interview method makes it fast and less of a hassle
What's not so great: Still hard to understand some of the Learn More explanations
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I moved

Turbo Tax gives me control!

This is the second year using Turbo Tax after using a CPA for many years. The CPA had us fill out a bunch of forms and then entered the details into a commercial Turbo Tax. I always thought that this would get the maximum refund and ensure accuracy, but we found errors in the last couple of years we used a CPA. The advantage of Turbo Tax is that I now know and understand every facet of the return and no detail of the tax filing is left out. This has led to significantly more deductions and added piece of mind about the accuracy of my taxes.
What's great about it: It provides clear information on every detail
What's not so great: It takes a whole day to prepare the return

Hit a wall at the end

Because we couldn't delete the unnecessary state, we were unable to e-file. "Validation failed: There is an update available for your program. Before you can e-file, you’ll need to get this update." Went to update and everything updated fine, but the issue remained. Finally had to print 60 pages and mail our return - not even the federal could be e-filed! I see that other mac users encountered the problem. Rebooting didn't alleviate it.
What's great about it: Typically smooth walk-through of all forms
What's not so great: TT added a state we don't need and we couldn't delete it

Not too difficult, but could use some help

For the most part, this was a pretty good program. However there were a few area's that had me stressing a bit due to a lack of a "detailed explanation" Most areas were pretty straight forward and had good advice. But there were some under the Business section that just left me with even more questions. For example in the business expense & entertainment, It doesn't explain if you are to add all the meals up in one lump some #i.e. lunches, when there are LOTS!# or list them separately. Some basic things like that, I guess the author of the program overlooked the fact that the average person may not know the very "basic" answers. Because it seems that is where it had its faults. The confusing areas were very understandable and detailed, it was the simple things that someone who perhaps does taxes all the time would take for granted, yet a novice would be cringing trying to decide how exactly to do it.
What's great about it: Was very user friendly
What's not so great: Some areas didn't give detailed enough answers.
