The IRS needs to make this simpler. A standard deduction based on tuition and fees paid each year for post secondary education would be the simplest. i realize this is not a turbo tax issue, but I believe others would have the same complaint.
What's not so great: still confusing as to what deduction to take
I have been using H&R Block tax software and have always found it to be confusing and frustrating. Turbo tax has been very easy to use and the platform that is on is very user friendly.
What's great about it: Step by step instruction made it very easy to use
We adopted a baby again this year and it was not easy to understand what paperwork was required. It was not brought to my attention during the course of the program that we will have a carry-over deduction. I hope the program will remember that for us next year when we use TurboTax!
What's great about it: Very thorough program. I like that this year's program fills in the personal data blanks based on last year's forms.
What's not so great: Pop-Up explanations are difficult to understand if you are not a CPA.
