turbo tax used to be better. it used to be easier to use. there is surely at least one badly formatted screen, which mislead me and wasted about 4 hours of my time. Turbo tax used to have a better help center. now we cant even call for help any more. instead we have to write onto a FAQ user board that does not provide any help at all. Very disappointing. I probably will switch to a different tax program next year, and I have used Turbo Tax for numerous years. Very very disappointing!
What's not so great: the handling of 1099-R from a life insurance cash out is extremely bad and misleading.
I spent about 3 to 4 hours on the phone trying to fix my problem with no success. I then tried a system restore. It worked!! I've successfully filed my return.
What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Update creasted a magor problem
I think this is the 8th or 9th year I have used TT. I love using it and always find it impressively easy to follow. It is very intuitive and helpful. The additional help section is useful. Keep up the good work because I will have to keep paying taxes!!
What's great about it: Easy to follow, consistently accurate,
What's not so great: I found it difficult to find my return after having worked on it and saved it!
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments
