Great, but...

Totally thorough & easy to wade through every possible item or topic that might apply to your situation. The one major downside is that over the years navigation has become progressively more difficult. Yes, there are a half dozen major category tabs, but there's no drop down list of items within those categories! WHY NOT? Why should you have to re-answer dozens of questions you've already answered just in order to get to an item or question you might need to change or correct? Drop down lists could easily solve this & make going back to fix or just check on an answer a simple task. This seriously needs to be addressed & improved.
What's great about it: Walks you though every possibly applicable topic
What's not so great: Navigating directly to specific topics, especially if your going back to a previous item

For the first time Turbo Tax did not offer a chance to change home office square footage or details about utility usage. I don't know what assumptions it made to determine either square footage of the home office or utility usage.

Ok it took me 14 hrs to complete from start to finish with no breaks, so to speak...I bought turbo tax about a month ago and thought that i could just whip through it, well if i had all the info i needed handy maybe i could have, but i had to look for a few items, print a few items from intuit, add up receipts from this and that and then spent an hr on the phone on hold for turbo tax to answer where do i put non-employee compensation 1099 misc info on tax return....I had to form a business, its not a business i just paid someone to help me with stuff cause with my job i didnt have time, i paid her out of my income, but over all i am happy with results and i didnt think i could actually accomplish doing taxes, i am so proud of myself and my husband proud of me too!!!
What's great about it: i did taxes all by myself, i didnt think i could do it
What's not so great: putting in the 1099 for non-employee compensation
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Wonderful Time Saver

If there's any Cons, it's the government's over-taxation at the Fed, State & local city levels that when combined, really do not encourage or help businesses, especially small operations like my own...this software sort of points out what is clearly over-taxation. I remember the years in which I would do this manually myself, never again! Thank You INTUIT !!!
What's great about it: Simplifies trying to understand gov't forms

Turbo Tax's 2012 computation on our 1040 was not correct for taxable Social Security income. It was $814 short so we had to pay an additional $120 in taxes. Also, I have no idea where the program got the figures to compare our 2012 tax figures to those for 2013 as they were so far off I couldn't believe it. There was a difference of almost $15,000 for our AGI as well as other figures being incorrect. This sort of thing doesn't do much to generate a feeling of security and trust in Turbo Tax software.
What's great about it: Nice to have from last yeart all personal info imported from last year and to have all the computations seem correct .
What's not so great: 2012 computation not correct
