Overall it is a easy product to use, especially if you get your ducks in a row prior to sitting down to enter information...
What's great about it: Walks you through...
What's not so great: Can be confusing if you dont have tax experience...
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Excellent Alternative to an Accountant

I have been using this software since before it was Quicken and all I can say is that it gets better every year. The best feature is been able to upload all your info from the past year and the downloading of all financial info like w2, 1099's of all flavors, etc..
What's great about it: Easy to use, broad coverage
What's not so great: Needs a simulator to examin different cenarios

A little disappointed
on April 15, 2014
Posted by: NOBAMA2016
from Marietta, Georgia
When items are input off the 1098 it doesn't show on the step by step. when i re-entered the amount it doubled. I understand why, but it was still a little confusing. this was my first year filling out the k-1 1065 and boy! what a round I had trying to finally get it to work. A lot of the little rectangles turned red and I had 21 errors to get straight. I hope next year is easier. Car mileage seems to be one of my problems with TT. Overall I will continue to use Turbo Tax as I have for around 15 years or whatever. I just thought that this year was harder to do than usual.
What's great about it: I really like the step by step and the roll forward of info
What's not so great: difficulty with the k-1 need better explanations, 1098 home tax doesnt show in step by step, confusing

I HAVE USED TURBO TAX FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. I DO PERSONAL, BUSINESS(WE HAVE 2), AND RENTAL UNIT. ONCE I TRIED ANOTHER LESS EXPENSIVE PROGRAM TO SAVE $. BIG MISTAKE.!!. I NEARLY GOT AN ULCER TRYING TO GET THOUGH THE PROGRAM. NOW TURBO TAX IS THE ONLY PROGRAM I WOULD EVER USE. LIFE MADE EASIER.
What's great about it: WALKS ME THOUGH EACH STEP
What's not so great: VERY LITTLE I DON'T LIKE

What's great about it: Detailed and easy to follow
What's not so great: Can't think of any

I've used Turbo Tax for many, many years. I found 2013 very challenging. For instance it was very difficult to get questions answered regarding why certain deductions weren't allowed this year. Also it was impossible to close a business. Everything I tried just made the return have more and more errors. In the end, I just kept the business opened another year and hope I can get more help from Turbo Tax on how to dispose of a business, and why it kept asking me about getting rid of the vehicle used in the business when I still had it. It was very, very confusing.
What's great about it: Relatively easy when guided by the interview
What's not so great: Difficult to get questions answered; impossible to close a business
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Taxes Accomplished!

Honestly, TurboTax makes me not dread tax season. I started my own company at 20 and was told time and time again that tax season might break me... TurboTax has made it as simple a process as I imagine it could be for two years now and will happily be using the software again next year.
Important to me: - Made sure that I saw everything I needed to in the tax code. I can't imagine I would have found have the deductions available to me without this software. - Tracks multiple businesses so I'm able to keep track of both main and secondary businesses - If you have any questions, information is readily available in the software or through a link to an external page which is great if, like me, you want to learn a little about what you're filling out and why certain things are deductible and others aren't.
I cannot recommend TurboTax enough!
What's great about it: Ease of use, made sure that I hit every step, tracks multiple businesses, helpful explanatory information
What's not so great: Didn't get my 1099-MISC forms from the mailbox for me and open them?
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
