I DIDN'T HAVE TO USE AN ACCOUNTANT :o)

I feel the deductibles for vehicle use could have been explained better. It should be known that an extended vehicle rental has to be listed as a lease because you have no other option to choose from. This should be explained in the step-by-step instructions because you have to choose "Owner or Lease" or you cannot itemize the extended rental car. Turbo Tax should tell users to select "Lease" if your rental car was used for work or business longer than 29-days as this would make life a lot easier for everyone ;o)
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
We have used this product for years and have never been disappointed. The integration with the state taxes makes the state return quick and easy to complete. The link to the questions database is very helpful. E-filing is so much easier than going to the post office with five pounds of paper. Finally, the importation of the previous year's data is very helpful and speeds current year data entry.
repeated updates a pain. when I transmitted, I got the spinning cursor and I had to quit the program, yet it completed and was accepted by the IRS. Even though I had just saved the file, it wanted to save again and it said it couldn't find the file. This year's version is not good.
Used a national tax service last year. It cost me 4 times what Turbotax cost. Very simple to use. My daughter is 17 and used it to file her first returns.
As always, TurboTax was easy to use and I accomplished my taxes in less than 2 hours. The deduction finder worked great, informing me of deductions I didn't even know I had. One suggestion for improvement on future versions would be to have the page default to the bottom each time, every time I completed a section (which sometimes was rapidly if it didn't apply to me) I would have to scroll to the bottom again, which was annoying. Overall though, the software works great, I have used it for many years and will buy it again next year.
