Impressive!

On data entered on Form 1116, the system claimed it had an error and I was not able to eFile. The information was correctly entered and reflected exactly as the K1. No Income or Loss from a Source outside of the USA was received, however, Foreign Taxes were paid from an undisbursed dividend.
What's great about it: Data entered once feeds to multiple forms.
What's not so great: Failed on Foreign Tax Credit - Form 1116
Pros: I bought or sold investments

I had always used a tax accountant until about 6 years ago when I decided to use TT for the first time. Now I am hooked on TT because it automatically fills in my personal info from the previous year, shows me the previous year's forms info for comparison purposes, and just simply walks me right through the process of filling in the info that I need to file. Just couldn't ask for an easier way to file taxes!
What's great about it: Software walks you right through the entire process - so easy

made it simpler

I think it is import for the tax payer to understand what it is they are doing and the IRS process is not simple and often down right confusing. Someone needs to do a good job of explaining terms and concepts or providing examples. Turbo tax does not always do that. My best source of info was actually the internet. While I could not always see the connection between what Turbo tax asked and where it was being put on the forms, they did a good job for me and made my life much easier ( I might still be working on this a month later) There were several entries where I had questions about what I needed to do or how to do it and Turbo tax did not provide an easy way to get answers.
You would think that for selling a rental property the process of figuring out how to report it and what to report could be a lot simpler. How difficult does it have to be to say that when you depreciate a home that you are actually deferring the taxes on the money .... write it off when spent, but add it back in when you sell the house and because you did not pay taxes on the money when it was earned, that amt would be taxed at the ordinary income rate. More good examples and a logic diagram might make the process easier.
What's great about it: I had a complicated filing which would have required me to do a lot more work than I realized . This really helped.
What's not so great: Leads you by the nose, but doesn't really help you understand the process
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Turbo tax has gotten better every year.
What's great about it: It walks you through every step and very user friendly
What's not so great: When there are errors on the forms section it doesn't really tell you how to fix it.

Did My Taxes ... But ...
on April 15, 2014

Didn't feel TT imported from Q H&B. The options were Quicken and Quickbooks. I chose Quicken but it didn't seem to import right. I had to manually enter a lot of stuff. I'm going to review how I've got Q H&B set up and configured, that could be the problem.
What's great about it: Easy to follow and do taxes
What's not so great: Didn't import from Quicken Home and Business

Connection to Quicken!

Have used this program for years. Every time Quicken is improved, TurboTax gets easier. Quicken's import function assigns categories at random, so it takes a long time to make the categories fit the expenses. Exporting the Tax Summary to Excel helps identify what's wrong and what's missing. Then TurboTax asks if you want to import or type entries. Easy enough!
Fed & State both received my tax forms on the 15th, and I sent them early on the 15th while I watched the eclipse of the moon.
What's great about it: Once Quicken is up to date, most of the work is done!
What's not so great: Couldn't find the 2014 Estimated Tax forms after eFiling
