Windows version better than on-line

Be careful if you are doing taxes late for prior years. When importing from other accounts, TurboTax will always import the current year, even if that's the wrong year.
When entering data for home office expenses, such as utilities and house repairs, be sure to keep your numbers handy after you calculate them, because TurboTax will need you to re-enter the same numbers multiple times, once for each business that has a home office deduction.
Remember, if you over contributed to an HSA and paid tax penalty that you need to under-contribute the following year or else TurboTax will repeat the same penalty in every subsequent year. This warning is not present anywhere in the program.

What's great about it: Imports from prior year, and from on-line accounts
What's not so great: Entered same data multiple times for home office.

Purchases/sales of publicly traded partnerships are reported by brokerage houses on 1099's, often downloaded straight to Turbotax, but K-1s reflect adjustments to basis, which need to be made manually on Forms 8949, whuch can only be done through the override button. These overrides then show up on Turbo Tax as errors. But the true error is in NOT making the adjustments. I suggest trying to improve the Turbo Tax reporting system to better handle this complex area.

The past few years I've been dealing with my mother's estate and inheriting a rental house. I stopped renting it in 2012 and sold it in 2013 and it was difficult to get the right things entered in TurboTax Home and Business to recapture depreciation and ensure the correct basis. Also, the support community was non-existent after April 15th, so those of us who filed for extensions found that we were alone with no one to answer questions.
What's great about it: Easy to use, remembers data from prior year, frequent software updates
What's not so great: Hard to enter complex scenarios for sale of rental house
Pros: I bought or sold investments

TurboTax Is AWFUL

Your product is horrible. For example, when I initially filed my taxes, I owed money. I sent the checks in. Then there was no way to account for those payments after the fact (only if estimated or with an extension). Then I had a refund due, but because I owed money originally, it wouldn't let me choose a refund. The worst is, even after hitting "Amend a Return," I still don't think it did a proper amendment because there is no document that says "Amended Return." I am terribly afraid that my taxes are an utter mess!
What's great about it: None
What's not so great: The product makes a mess!!
Pros: I had a baby, I bought or sold investments
