I am so glad that Turbo Tax makes it understandabl

I really like being able to DL Turbo Tax and work on any of my machines. I also like the simple instructions and screens. I would like to be able to see where I just was, and what is next though. I see nothing for part-time employment when a person has two very similar jobs, say working a full time career at one government agency (Fire Department or police department), but supplementing income in a second or third jurisdiction.
What's great about it: I like the easy information organization
What's not so great: Would like more adjustment in the movement through the screens.
I am small business owner and have been using Turbo Tax for the last couple of years. They make filing comprehensive and extremely easy. I have never been confused because there is always a link that explains every part of the return. The best part is, they make sure I cover everything and double check it all before it gets transmitted. I would encourage people with simple filings to use Turbo tax and it costs less than going to an accountant!
What's great about it: Turbo Tax pullled all my information from the last filing and it was a breeeze filing my 2013 returns after that!
What's not so great: There wasn't anything not to like!
For the last 3 years I have had to total up all our deductions only to find out that the standard deduction is greater. Can you put in a short cut that saves me the trouble of doing this? I should be able to choose the standard deduction if I want before having to go through all the work getting my deductions in order. Our situation doesn't change too much from year to year so this short cut would be very helpful.
