E-file comes before review. That doesn't seem logical and is confusing. If you choose to e-file federal and mail state, it is very easy to skip right over the step for printing the state return. It asks is you want to "print" a preview copy and then generates a PDF. If you print the state copy before you get to the "print to mail" step, it omits the direct deposit information. But , , , I have used Turbo Tax for years and will likely continue to do so.
What's great about it: Detailed step-by-step input
What's not so great: Filing and printing is very confusing
I have been using Turbo Tax since 2005 and this is the first time I have efiled and I am a little nervous. This is also the second time I have had a problem that the Turbo Tax crashed my computer and I had to reboot. It appears all went well because I completed my return and hopefully it was transmitted but I'll have to wait and see.
What's great about it: It is Quick
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
