I have been using Turbo Tax for years, and find it easy to use for personal and business. It would be terrific to have easier quick access keys to that I could would start working on items out of order. Sometimes I just want to work on one deduction and not all of them. This year's version is cleaner than prior years, so it was a lot easier to complete the forms. Love the Its Deductible and Audit Defense.
What's great about it: easy to use and help sidebars are clear
What's not so great: takes time to wind through everything
Used this software for years. Beware, when asked, as I was if I wanted to save the file when exiting. I had been putting in some "what if" numbers to see the difference in results and when finished that exercise continued to exit Turbo Tax. I was asked if I wanted to save the file. Since I had put in some "what if" numbers, I said NO! Do not do this! The next morning when reviewing for final e-filing, the file was GONE!!!!!!!! from Turbo Tax. It appears that if you say no to saving the file it is like "Deleting" the file. I had to go to backup storage to retrieve and old saved file and re-input a days worth of data. I believe the message should read - Do you want to save the latest data input since this file was last saved. Just remember. Keep going to "File" and saving the file as you continue to enter data.
What's great about it: Finalizing and E-Filing were very easy
What's not so great: Some instructions are easily misinterpeted
After E-filing the federal return, there is no indication on how to snail-mail the NJ state return. To do this, the user must choose snail-mailing the federal AFTER completing the federal e-filing process.. The user must guess that this is the way to proceed; it took this user many many minutes and loops to go this way.
What's not so great: snail-mailing state after e-filing federal
