I like the overall performance, and the lay out of the program, and it did find more deductions than I had anticipated. Yay! I like the fact it lets you know about errors, but I had made a typo on the withholding on the W-2, and it did not take me to that spot until I was previewing the final draft. I spent a lot of time looking for errors on my own, as my previous year's taxes were almost the same. The program originally calculated 0 refund, when I had received a nice refund the previous year. I wish there was some sort of alarm that lets you know when something just does not add up. On the other hand it is an easy program to use, and if you do not have typos, it will help you receive the maximum deductions.Also the help menus were very good, and when I needed to file an extension, the program was very helpful, as i could just type in a question and it was answered.
What's great about it: I love all of the detail and the help menus, it helps you think of additional deductions
What's not so great: Returning to a section a little difficult, the retiremetn acct area a little confusing for this user
Very intuitive programing I love the ability to correct by accessing a different section of the return from various points during the interview and out side of the interview.
Great Product.
Will continue to use, like I have every year. I have never had a problem with my returns!
See above CON. This is a very big thing, in my book, because a screw-up here could mean an audit. You MUST find a clear and easy path to go back to edit all entries intuitively!
What's not so great: Very very difficult -almost impossible! -to get back to the fine-print entries... various deductions, etc, to edit them.
On K-1s from MLPs I had to guess on several entries, but then I know K-1s are tough anyway. Also, Oil Royalty income was very difficult to do, but that's another specialized case, and tough. Overall, I love TTax.
What's great about it: Work on it when I want to, very thorough. And it knows last year's stuff.
