Love this program

Great to work with from year to year. I bought last years program online and then had to get new hard drive, lost program and was not sure how to get program back so I had to input all my info but love it when I can just import last years taxes.
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Tells you that you have to file Kansas taxes in same method as federal. You don't I talked to kansas dept. of rev.
1) several issues: federal... il state return did not pick up on property tax credit properly... had to do that manually when I found it missing. 2) state: there is no state AGI.. as listed on the forms .. though did say line 1. 3) state e-signature block... asked if spouse filed a return... should have had an option for filed jointly.... this was misleading.
What's great about it: 1) good to be able to "toggle" between "step by step" and forms.... since if confusion with "step by step" can go to for
What's not so great: would like to directly access work sheets from an index as I go along... to see what is happening.
Since I am not an accountant I can not find a thing to change or improve. My returns have been very simple since my wife and I have retired. Thanks again.
What's great about it: everything was great
What's not so great: can't find any cons
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
Turbo Tax needs a lot of improvement in the review errors category. It presents errors with no way to know how to correct them. Then, when one eventually finds the forms, the explanations are written in Taxese (government speak). What is needed is a direct link button for each error presented and and plain language explanations. For example, I was supposed to supply Basis for a home sale. What the xxx is basis in regard to a home sale? I understand basis in regard to a stock purchase, but this is a new one.

What's great about it: Couldn't do taxes without it
What's not so great: Not very good at explaining complex tax situations.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
Questioning why I should keep paying for the software if others are utilizing the free version and expressing content. What do I benefit from utilizing the paid version?
What's great about it: The ease of completing my filing due to the specific guide instructions.
What's not so great: Free software offered when I purchased my software.
