I have to report minimum required distribution from my IRA and it gave me a great deal of trouble in TurboTax. In addition, I had a great deal of trouble with a downloaded 1099 MISC. I don't know if it was corrected properly.
Turbo Tax did not handle Education Credit and 529 distributions to achieve my maximum refund and did not inform me that a potential savings could be achieved by manually adjusting amounts to be applied to AOC. Without intervention of an EA who reviewed my tax return, Iwould have had a greater tax liablity.
What's great about it: Ease of Use
What's not so great: Very poor calculation of Education credits and 529 distributions
I like almost everything about this version, except the "Form View" option. In years past, it would automatically bring me to the current form associated with the step I was on.
I'd like that functionality back!
What's great about it: Import of data from Quicken
Doing your own taxes makes you aware of all the possible deductions that you are eligible every year and all you need to do is keep the receipts. Love your software!
What's great about it: Simple and easy to follow
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
Been using this software since the mid-90s. Never had a problem, even filing for a business. It has always been easy to use and I am always confident that my return is accurate. If you have an IQ, you should be able to use this software.
What's great about it: Consistently thorough and reliable.
What's not so great: None
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I moved, I bought or sold investments
