I really do love the consistency of format from year to year. However, this year, I did not receive the usual request for updates upon entering the program as have occurred in the past and it led me to waste time and go around in a few circles before I noticed in the help section how to update. Please go back to making the updates as automatic as possible prior to beginning the return.
What's great about it: Consistency and ease of use
What's not so great: Should have automatic updates not request them after the fact
I love Turbo Tax filing. This is my third year filing using Turbo Tax. It can be time-consuming, but I love the fact that you check and double check for accuracy, and for any questionable entries that might spark an IRS audit. Also, after the IRS accepts the return, you can start looking for your refund within days. I would not mind if you had a separate Deluxe for Fed and State that included the cost at purchase for filing the State return. It would make it easier to file both at the same time without having to pay extra at filing time for State.
What's great about it: Step by step filing and error check after each entry
What's not so great: Addresses required for each and every Charitable Contribution
I have always had an accountant do my taxes but he retired so this year I decided to file myself. Turbo Tax Deluxe was so easy to use. Definitely recommend it and will use it next year too.
