Used saved time for family fun!
on March 27, 2014
Posted by: TracyOHIO
I file for myself and my 4 college age children. It makes filing such a breeze. We give ourselves extra hours for enjoying life by using Turbo Tax. Just to let you in on a secret, I have been using Turbo Tax every year since 2011 (I filed "manually" in 2010 and it took me f o r e v e r).
As an opportunity for improvement to save even more time...It would be beneficial to be able to see go to a sort of "check list" that offered the opportunity to go directly back to a question that you need to correct instead of going through an entire section again.
What's great about it: Can file multiple returns - remembers previous year data
What's not so great: don't have any

Room for improvement
on March 27, 2014

The instructions for filling in info from PTP K-1s are inadequate.
For some reason your program opened amended returns for both federal and state when I hadn't filed. I eventually figured out how to "remove" the 1040X and solved that list of error messages but I could not "remove" the MA CA-6 form no matter how many times I pushed the "remove" button.

What's great about it: Covers almost everything
What's not so great: Inadequate for PTP k-1s. Involuntarily opened amended returns for both Federal and State

Major Bug in the 2013 Deluxe version
on March 27, 2014
Posted by: shaggybone
I have been using Turbo Tax for the last 4 years and until this year have always been very satisfied with the product. There appears to be a bug in the 1099-Misc section in which the program is not allowing the employer tax EIN number to be accepted. It keeps saying there is an incorrect format. Reading the help boards I see many people have complained about this. The bug meant I was unable to use the free e-file option (since the program would not allow me to continue) and had to mail the return in instead. I was not a happy camper. Would have rated product 5 stars if not for the bug. Here's hoping this gets corrected for 2014.
What's great about it: Easy to use, very comprehensive, good help screens.
What's not so great: 2013 version contains a bug which prevents use of free e-file option..

FSA and Dependent Care Credit Confusion
on March 27, 2014
Posted by: maxV0
The program needs to explain a little more about the difference between a Dependent Care Credit and the benefit of the Flexible Spending Accounts. I kept feeling that TurboTax was assuming that the $5000 in box 10 of my W-2 was a benefit provided by my employer, when in actuality it was income that was set aside to be untaxed. I am still not sure it calculated correctly.
What's great about it: familiar program
What's not so great: confusing terms
Pros: I moved

Excellent Tool
on March 27, 2014
Posted by: 99oldgrtone99
Overall a high quality software tool. Only complaint I have is with entering and computing foreign tax. But I guess not many folks have this problem.
Would have given 5 stars, if not for the foreign tax frustration.
What's great about it: Easy to use, quick to enter and see where you stand on your taxes
What's not so great: A little lax on guiding you through foreign tax computations
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
