Having the ability to let the program guide you step by step or being able to choose those areas you want to work on is an excellent feature. I pick those areas I want to work on and load the information as I receive my various tax documents as they arrive. The allows me to spread the work over several periods and review each piece separately and again in total at the end.
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Have to pay and additional $19.95 plus tax to transmit state return(s).
Overall I love turbotax. I just wish it would be easier to look at the forms as I go along. I forgot to enter something in part b and it took forever for me to figure it out.
What's great about it: easy to use

Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
