Routine Review
on April 8, 2014
Posted by: WBF3
I had a return that was relatively simple, so there was really no need for this program other than convenience.
I must comment that it was very bothersome attempting to select a nickname for this review due to duplicates.

What's great about it: The ability to correct mistakes easily instead of having to redo a form.
What's not so great: Prompting to complete state tax for state(FL) that has none.

first time to use e-file
on April 8, 2014
Posted by: RogersE
I have used TurboTax for years. Again I feel confident that all info was handled properly... I am a little concerned with the handling of the Limited Partnership sale data, but hopefully all went o.k.
What's great about it: auto download of w-2, 1099's
What's not so great: Hard to find stored 1099 info
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Good for simple returns
on April 8, 2014
Posted by: Nevada00
Works for relatively simple returns. I have latest version of Quicken, importing data from Quicken hasn't worked properly for years (I have used Quicken and filed with TurboTax for 20 years). Used to import data, but totally screwed up now. I enter data by hand. Does let me compare itemized deductions versus standard deduction. Wouldn't trust it to download directly from financial institutions (or Quicken either). Intuit needs to completely rewrite source code, not just patch from year to year.
What's great about it: Walks you through return to make sure you don't overlook anything.
What's not so great: Won't take no for an answer on added options.

Improving every year
on April 7, 2014
Posted by: midwatch
I have been using Turbo Tax since it first came out. In the early days the user still had to have at least a simple understanding of his tax status and the bullet items provided for you to make selections from did not always make it easy to choose the right path. This has improved a great deal over the last few years.
I also am very pleased with the program's ability to import data directly from a number of sources, thus saving me not only the typing involved but also the need to find the correct box on a number of unfamiliar forms.
What's great about it: The interview is cleaner and easier to navigate every year.

Problems filing for decedent
on April 7, 2014
Posted by: DNEX
I have filed my mother's taxes using Turbotax since her husband died 9 years ago. In 2013 my mother too passed away. Turbotax is supposed to be able to handle this, but after I imported my mother's information from her 2012 return and specified that she died in 2013, Turbotax began showing me screens that implied I was my mother's SPOUSE and started asking me questions about myself! Comments posted online indicated there would be a box I could check to identify myself as simply the preparer of the return, but I never found such a box. The only thing I could do was close out the record and start a new one *without* any imported data.
What's not so great: Tubotax concluded I was my mother's late husband

Easy to use software that walks you through your return.
I would like to see information about what has changed in the tax laws from one year to the next on items that have major differences in amounts for no apparent reason.
Otherwise great software
Pros: I bought or sold investments
