Steady as She Goes
on March 28, 2014
Posted by: OldWolf66
I have used TurboTax for many years. It keeps getting easier to understand the entries as you walk through them. Not having to worry about the confusing new tax laws has always been a strong part for me. It has also helped me through some investment topics that could easily been way over my head. Importing the previous year's tax data is useful to me. Filling in some blanks so that you don't have to repeat them year after year is nice, but the best part for me is the ability to compare entries from last year to this year.
On the negative side I have trouble finding the sections dealing with being an independent worker. I usually end up doing a search for the business section. It is on the income sheet it is just not very obvious (I think it is in the "other" grouping). The other section I really have to search for is the one on estimated taxes. As a contractor I like to play what if before I finalize my estimated tax entry for next year. It is annoying to search for it, but I admit it is not so bad if I remember to flag it.
Overall it is a great product that I will use again next year.

What's great about it: General ease of use and use of prior year's data
What's not so great: Hard to find some special categories

I knew I would have to pay out this year, this guided tour of the tax return made it (Almost) painless. We've been using TurboTax for several years and it only gets better.
What's great about it: Easy to use, informative

turbotax deluxe

software did not tell me about Form 8453 until the vary last minute after filing. I had to search for the reason form 8949 was not filled in before e-filing. I went on line and obtained 8453 from the govt. {t seems to me that you should have alerted me right after the form 8949 was generated.
I would like to not print the 1043-ES payment vouchers. I never follow the estimated payments, I make my own payment values which never agree with your numbers. Mine are usually higher.

Thorough

The 2013 software was inconsistent and difficult to re-open and close. Often times, the blank Turbo Tax beginning format would just "stick" on my screen and not close out. I would have to turn off my computer and do a restart in order to get it to close out a session. This is the first year (and only year) I have had any difficulty with the software. Hopefully, it is a fluke.
What's great about it: Software is thorough and easy to use.
What's not so great: I've used TurboTax for over ten years and this is the first year I've had any trouble with the software. See review.
Pros: I moved, I bought or sold investments
