Reasonable Tool for the Job

This software doesn't change much from year to year. Once you're familiar with it, it is easy to use, and pretty straightforward.
I do wish it were better at explaining where figures come from. For example, when you ask it where your tax-exempt income came from, it just dumps you onto the worksheet with all the 1099s (both DIV and INT - tax-exempt income shows up on both). Implicitly it is saying: here - you go figure it out. It would be better if it produced a list (similar to Schedule B) or at least highlighted the figures that went into the sum.
The state form almost never lets you zoom in to see where figures came from.
What's great about it: Does the arithmetic for you, fills out the forms
What's not so great: Not good at explaining where each figure came from
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Taxes can be fun sometimes

I have been using Turbo Tax for eleven or twelve years now and the program has always helped me get thru doing my income taxes without a lot of pain and suffering except for paying the taxes that I owe. I do not think that I could just pick up the forms and started filling them out without getting lost in the forms. Turbo Tax makes it easy to do taxes. Enough said. Wait til next year.
What's great about it: Help with deductions
What's not so great: investments are still difficult to comprehend
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Turbo Tax takes the dread out of tax preparation, and the best part, no distractions with people in the next booth talking so loudly, that you can't hear your tax preparer's questions...there is nothing like the privacy of you own home to prepare your taxes knowing that your are getting the maximum refund available. Love, Love, Love Turbo Tax
What's great about it: Step by Step Instruction!
What's not so great: None
