It Got The Job Done

I have used Turbo Tax Federal and State every year since way back and I have always been pretty pleased with how it worked. This year it seemed to have better speed and it was quicker going through and getting both the federal and state taxes done.
What's great about it: very clean and fast
What's not so great: No up front warning of expense for State e-file.
With seven children and 2 in college, TurboTax helped me get our maximum deductions. It's questioning style and step-by-step format make it easy to file. I've used TurboTax for several years and have always felt confident of the results.
What's great about it: Quick and thorough
What's not so great: Didn't return me to exactly where I ended
I had some difficulty determining where to insert data from a partnership investment. Payment from this partnership was identified as a royalty by my broker so that is where I attempted to enter the data. I determined that this data was to be entered in the business section. I would recommend that you have a filter question for those who receive a Schedule K-1 Form 1065 so that they can be directed to the correct entry area.
What's great about it: Generally clear instructions and good guidance
What's not so great: Problem with Schedule K-1 Form 1065
Ok, I listed very comprehensive on Pros and Cons. This software is so very thorough and it has found additional deductions that I was not aware of. But the thorough nature requires a lot of additional questions. But everything is plain English, examples are given and both of my refunds were higher than I would have obtained with a paper form and a book!!
What's great about it: increased deductions, very comprehensive
What's not so great: very comprehensive (if higher refunds can be a "con")
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
