Suggest software be edited to show information just as it will appear on the 1040 as user imputs information, which does not happen now until user is ready to print the forms. For example, had to work hard to find how to fill in Form 8606 (non-deductible ira contributions). If section on ira distributions immediately asked if any were non-deductible then led to Form 8606 I would not have had to search how to do it. Otherwise, software is awesome.
What's great about it: Handles complex tax issues automatically
What's not so great: Shown information does not mirrore Form 1040 until the end
I should not say you only get to file one state. I should be able to file as many state as I want I must pay to file efile. It should be easier to pull up state forms for the second family member.
What's great about it: Easy
What's not so great: I is not easy to get the state forms for other member in household
Have used Turbo Tax for years and have always found it easy to get through. However, this year (unless I missed something) I could not print the estimated tax payments coupons all at one time. I had to launch and individually print each coupon one at a time. A real bother!
Went through step by step and thought I had covered everything. Not sure how I missed entering quarterly payments. Had to go back and find where to enter them. Other than that, TurboTax made it easy to do it myself. I love that it picks up items from last year and moves federal entries to the state taxes.
What's great about it: Easy to follow directions
What's not so great: Writing an acceptable question
