When I import financial information (from LPL) into Turbo Tax it works perfectly with the Federal return, but does not work well with the state (Mississippi) return. I end up having to enter the tax id number and address for every form LPL submits to Turbo tax. This was also a problem last year. Other than that, I love Turbo Tax.
I did not like the way I had to enter my vehicle mileage deduction. If I had not read the help screen and manually calculated my deduction, I would have missed it. The 2012 tax version had me enter the mileage and it calculated the deduction for me. The old way was much easier.
You cleaned up the child daycare deduction screen. There was a bug last year because I could enter the deduction but the screen to input the daycare was missing. If i hit BACK it would then take me to the needed screen.
Overall, getting better every year.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
This was my first year filing taxes without the assistance of anyone else. TurboTax was highly recommended and now I understand why. The program is easy to use and TurboTax provides detailed explanations for each step and item throughout the process. I will definitely use this in the coming years!
