Download of investment transactions is extremely helpful and efficient as is the w-2 downloads. Still needs work on AMT as that whole area is confusing to most everyone I know.
What's great about it: Logical interview process
What's not so great: AMT is still confusing as is some of the foreign taxinfo from brokerage accounts.
You could know nothing about taxes and TurboTax takes the steps to cover all the issues. If not, the customer service will guide you through everything. The only issue I had, is every year(4 yrs. now) "I" forget my password! Thank you for creating this program, it's a lot cheaper than the "other" places.
I have an LLC and my wife has her own LLC. It was difficult to get it all in using the home and business product. I really could have used the full business package, but I have MACs at home. I know I could have purchased a PC or use Parallel software to make my MAC accept Windows, but it takes a lot of memory I am not sure my 8 Gig would suffice. Just make them available for MAC. It is hard to transfer data from a MAC to a PC.
What's great about it: My taxes continue to get more complicated, but Turbo Tax helps me sort it all
What's not so great: I could have used the Business Turbo Package, but it is not available for MAC computers.
I have been using TurboTax Home & Business for the past 6 years. I find it very easy to use and much cheaper than when I went to an accountant to prepare the returns for myself and my small part-time business. I have recommended TurboTax to some of my friends who are involved in the same business as I am and they are comfortable using it also.
What's great about it: Links to clear explanations of each question
Turbotax provides a good blend of detailed hand-holding for the novice while allowing more experienced preparers to walk through the various areas with relative ease. Good diagnostics help identify inconsistencies and guide correction.
I've used MacInTax/Turbotax since 1989 and have no intention of switching.
What's great about it: Many Options Available
What's not so great: Not always easy to find "source" doc in forms
