TurboTax is stepping stones in a swamp.

US Taxes are complex, especially for a very small business. I'm an electrical engineer working out of my house. Don't have time to read all the IRS pubs. TurboTax leads me through it in relatively easy steps. Last time I tried to use another tax software package (years ago) most of the things that I needed help with as regards my small business I was told to look at IRS
What's great about it: Much faster and more accurate thatn trying to read all the IRS Pubs and doing it by hand.
What's not so great: Sometimes it's not totally clear what's gong on.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

A great product!

The program holds your hand as it walks you through the tax forms. I loved finding out what deductions I almost missed this year by using the tax summary comparison tools for previous years. I was a little frustrated in a few places when I wanted to know a definition of a term such as MCTD (in New York) and the like. I had to search the internet for my answers. So a little more click to get a definition of the current item would be appreciated. Don't know if it already exists but a list of business categories for expenses to use in Quicken would be helpful. Instead I had to build (or correct) my own list as I used turbotax year after year. I would be helpful to already have Quicken categories and .appropriate subcategories already setup before starting TT.
What's great about it: The ability to compare the past few years returns is great!
What's not so great: I wish there were more definitions available by clicking on an item.

Great product Turbo Tax and an outstanding tax support team.
What's great about it: Ease of following instructions and catches all the details

Better Than Ever, But...
on April 12, 2014
Posted by: GGRich
from Richmond, CA
This gets better and easier every year. The questions in the review seemed more focused this year. I have more confidence in my answers based on the presentation and accompanying notes.
Two things could be improved:
1] when I left for awhile and came back, it didn't automatically pick up my return at the point I left off like it did last year...
2] I refinanced with a reverse mortgage this year and feel there should be a more complete section addressing those issues and differences, both in the year you first encounter it, and going forward. What do I need to do [can I do] next year? It is always such a good feeling to press send, and then to quickly get the confirmations that they have been sent and later accepted by each agency. Peace of mind personalized!

What's great about it: Thorough review, ease of switching from review to form view
What's not so great: not complete enough on home mortgages, no auto restart

Long-Term User

I am a long-term user of the Turbo Tax product. It truly makes taxes less painful and the cost is reasonable compared to paid preparers. I love the transfer of prior year data, the ability to save the return as a PDF and to select whether to complete all steps or select the steps I want to complete. Two areas for improvement: the software does not always return to where you close out the return. This does not happen often but when it does, you have to click through sections that you already completed. Sometimes, your prior answers are not saved and you have to enter again. That being said, I love the software and will continue to purchase it yearly.
What's great about it: Transfer of Prior Year Data and Saving as PDF
What's not so great: Does Not Always Return to Close-Out Section
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments

I love using Turbo Tax but it is just too time consuming if you are using "For Home & Business."
