Some limitations are not obvious

I received two schedule K-1's containing both business income and real estate rental income. The K-1's were prepared by the estate's CPA using professional tax software. Boxes 6 and 7 both have values.
The TT design asks me whether I have anything in boxes 6-9. Since TT only allows ONE of those boxes per K-1 worksheet, there should be a separate entry for 6,7,8 and 9. TT should NOT ALLOW me to select more than one of those and present an error message at that point.
The design is opaque since I CAN put numbers in 6 AND 7 when entering the data. I conclude that all is well. It's not until I run the federal check that I am told that TT requires separate worksheets. The user should be blocked from entering data in a way that the program does not support.
Thanks,

I may need to fill out a Form 1245 from Form 4797? Turbo Tax REALLY NEEDS to calculate non-recaptured net losses!!!!
What's great about it: Relatively easy to use & follow

Love TurboTax

We've been using this program for so long; I can't even remember when we started. I believe it wasn't even called TurboTax back then. I will continue to use this program each year.
What's great about it: Easy to follow instructions.
What's not so great: None that I can think of.

Very Satisfied

I have used Turbo Tax almost from its inception. One thing I really like about it is that changes to the program are easy to adjust to. There are no 'quantum leaps' that require a steep learning curve. I especially like the fact that its format appearance changes very little, even when there are changes to the program. It's hard enough to do your own taxes when you own a small business -- you certainly do not want to have to fight a new program each year on top of everything else.
What's great about it: clear and easy to understand -- like lists of examples to use
What's not so great: very little did not like -- maybe going back requires too many steps

Feels good to know that there will be no searching for paperwork when it's time to file again.
