Disposition of Business Asset

I sold a car I used in business in the 2013 tax year. A number of $6770 which was identified as prior years depreciation. However I never could find the back up information that determined that number and what I did find in Asset Life History was completely different. I tried to ask the question and just got a generic answer and unable to reach a real person.
What's great about it: Generally trust worthy and accurate
What's not so great: difficult to find supporting documents
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
Several years ago I had a tax accountant (Ex-IRS agent) prepare my returns. I did all the work and he just put the info into Turbo Tax. I have now used Turbo Tax and only Turbo Tax to do my own returns. I find that it save me money. I was audited on my 2011 tax return but purchased Turbo Tax Tax Audit Coverage and I went through the audit easily.
What's great about it: I can do this at home. I have to gather all the tax info anyway, why pay someone else to put my info in a tax program.
What's not so great: Sometimes I get confused about the info asked for.
I've been doing my own taxes for 51 years and it has been so much easier since Turbo Tax and computers were invented. Occasionally, over the years I have taken my returns to a CPA for review and they verified accuracy and said they could not have done better. We have 3 rentals and 2 businesses.
I'm trying harder to keep my Quicken bookkeeping up-to-date and consistent so that I can be prepared fill in all the right boxes. Not confident enough to import the Quicken information yet. I'd love an online course to help me become more efficient.
Intuit programs are good to work with. I've used Turbo Tax for many years. Even an accountant told me that this was the best way to do my taxes.
What's great about it: Very straightforward in getting specific information on each step.
What's not so great: Couldn't import my 2012 tax return information - couldn't find out how to do that online.
The past few years the Interest Section asks information but when review each entry is shown to take 2 lines and the review insists on only 1 line. The taxpayer clarification and amount is shown on 2nd line; though the amount can be moved to 1st line the classification remains. Took care of the problem by: xxxxxxxxxx S 0.00 on 2nd line
What's great about it: Ease on finding referenced data
