Doing TurboTax update should NOT affect input data

I lost all data since my last save when an S/W update was processed. Any update should first ask if data save has been taken - to make sure that data is NOT lost! I lost hours figuring out what I was missing and then adding the data in.
What's great about it: I liked the way it goes about making sure data can be entered
I believe the software should be better at helping me find deductions for my tax return. I was not pleased with the final amount. Also, the software should provide at least one free e-file for state taxes, especially since the federal government already provides a free federal e-file.
What's great about it: Somewhat easy to use
What's not so great: I'm not pleased with my tax return
The whole process was fine - logical and complete. The only negative was that some items, namely those associated with our Sched C, were only addressed in the review instead of being included with the Sched. C preparation.
What's great about it: Step-by-Step process was great!
What's not so great: Some items were left till last
When filing multiple states, it caused a lot of anxiety to have to stop mid-primary state and complete non-resident state. It also showed us owing a considerable amount until the non-resident portion was completed. It would have been comforting to see a little notice that this may not be the final result in the refund/deficit column. Otherwise...great!
What's great about it: step by step guidance for confident filing
