I've used this product for over a decade. It is a life-saver and a sanity saver. I don't have to thumb through all of the IRS bulletins to see if something applies to me - TurboTax does that for me. It even finds things that I would have never found. The final review and error check feature are one of the most important - and most liked - since it reduces any chances of red flags by the IRS. Great product. Highly recommend to everyone.
For the last five years my tax returns have varied drastically, due to changing situations. They have all the forms and get the information there quickly & accurately. I really appreciate ItsDeductible. My goal is to really stay on top of updating that tool throughout the year.
Inability to peruse forms until after setting up the e-file process is annoying. What useful purpose does it serve for Intuit to prevent the user from reviewing data on any given form while working through the program? I found it useful (and reassuring) to see how the entries appear in the forms as I go along, and would sometimes catch errors or omissions by reviewing the lines/topics on the forms. Please bring it back for 2014 (and ever after).
I have been using Turbo Tax for several years and it keep s getting better. Each section is clearly explained and the program effortlessly guides you through the entire process. I no longer dread tax time.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
