Once again I spent a minimal amount of time doing our taxes for the year. A quiet hour or so and I'm done. I have total confidence in the outcome. Our circumstances changed this year so I have to pay instead of getting a refund. I don't even mind that (I was expecting it and will now know how much adjustment to make on our W-4s). I recommend this software to everyone I know. Our situation is fairly simple, but I have siblings who have very complicated situations. I've gotten them all to use Turbo Tax and they also love it.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
I have been using Turbo Tax for many years and never had a problem. I use 1040, 1120, and this year the Business and Personal combined. The Business & Personal is much more user friendly than the 1040 & 1120. I sure like the format much better for the online forms.
Due to the growing number of retirees, I believe that the one weakness that TurboTax has is in the descriptions for the various types of 'retirement plan' distributions. There is really nothing that helps you to identify a Profit Sharing Plan as a IRA, qualified or unqualified, defined, undefined retirement plan, for example. There are a lot of different plans out there and a customer should not have to call a employer.ex-employer for information if TurboTax could pull together a little more information to allow the customer to identify the type and source of a given distribution. This was the most difficult part of the process of doing my taxes, at least for me. Other than this, it is a great product!

It was easy to use with the step be step questions I needed to complete my return. I used it last year and was very happy with the results and will continue to purchase the program to do my tax returns.
