Turbo Tax: Fast, Easy and almost flawless
on March 20, 2014
Posted by: TateT
Turbo Tax always works easily for me. My only complaint this year is that I had to resubmit my efiled fed and state returns several times and then I restarted my computer and it worked fine. Other than that 1 small glitch this year, I have had 5 years with no problems. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
What's great about it: Easy to transfer info from prior year and enter information for various deductions and credits.
What's not so great: This year I had to restart my computer to efile,

A little buggy though I've never had issues in pas
on March 20, 2014
Posted by: BradleyCE
I think it's very easy to use. However, I've noticed a couple bugs I haven't experienced before. Ex: Interest-exempt tax dividends and rolled over losses. I entered them, but they didn't show up in proper place in Turbo Tax. Regardless, when I looked up the form schedules, they were entered properly.
In any case I love TT, I think after you do it you have a better sense of your financial and tax situation then you would if you'd used a tax advisor.
What's great about it: Very well laid out, good help feature
What's not so great: A little buggy.

What's great about it: Walked me through step by step

keeps getting worse
on March 20, 2014

Ridiculous how I had to enter 9 blank lines in IA Sch B to get error message voided. Hopefully efile will go thru this time...third time for filing
What's not so great: Iowa return prep is really bad

Did my compliance

It would help if all worksheets state whether they are from IRS or from TurboTax. MD 2 income subtraction should specify how to "allocate" capital gains and state income tax refund (I assumed just report each spouse's cap gains from their broker/mut fund statement, and that state inc. tax refund could be split 50/50 since it goes into a joint checking account). MD return picks up state income tax withheld from a domestic employee from the worksheet for Schedule H I think, but MD unlike the federal, does not have an equivalent of Sch H. Sch H imposes tax on me as employer, so estimated taxes paid give me credit toward that tax on 1040. But MD does not impose tax on me as the employer so I should not see a credit on my MD Form 502, but initially, I DID! I had to go back to the worksheet and zero out all the lines under the State Tax column so that the estimated taxes that I paid (representing my EMPLOYEE's MD state income tax withheld) would not be reflected as estimated tax paid on MY (the EMPLOYER's) return.
What's great about it: It remembers data from prior year's return
What's not so great: Worksheet source not stated; explain MD 2 inc subtr & estim tax

Maryland 2013
on March 20, 2014

The income input page needs a small fix. There is a box to check for military retirement pay. But the language talks about "active duty" retirement pay. At least in Maryland, the subtraction to income also applies to reserve and National Guard retirement pay. It took over an hour for the help desk folks to figure out how to make this work. Suggest modifying the language on the income input screen.
What's great about it: Works Well
What's not so great: Military retirement pay problem

problems this year
on March 20, 2014
Posted by: taxminus
Turbo Tax has always worked seamlessly for me. This year, however, I got to spend a lot of extra time because the disc wouldn't download to my Mac (always has in the past). Then we had trouble downloading investments. Then, when it was time to file, we had to reload it again. Otherwise, the program worked well.
What's great about it: keeps all my records year to year, saves time
What's not so great: trouble with start-up and filing with Mac
