Every year for the past 5 years, I try to use TurboTax to fill in my subcontractor 1099 MISC forms and either the software locks up , gets stuch, or I can't follow the step-by-step instructions and get messed up. This year I ended up printing out and mailing the 1099 MISC forms, YIPPY!, But, they didn't have my employer name, address, nor ID on them. OUCH!
Please put a usability epert to work on 1099 MISC preparation steps.
What's great about it: Guided tax preparation is super. I've used it for years.
What's not so great: Employee W2 and 1099 MISC Prep, NOT Intuitive, Does NOT work well
The college deductions and the schedule C guided tour left me stranded a few times. I had to manually enter data and go toturbo tax online support a couple times. I don't think it was as good as last year.
What's great about it: The interface is familiar
What's not so great: The guided tour left me stranded a few times
