I've been a TT user for a number of years. It really makes the process less painful.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

IRA trustee to trustee HSA distribution
on April 5, 2014
Posted by: MetsFan1969
The program requires IRA to HSA distribution to be entered on 1099-R. The problem is the IRA trustee is not required to file a 10099-R and didn't in my case. The IRS only requires the distribution to be entered ob 8889 line 10 as per publication 590. Turbo Tax will only allow entry of the distribution through the 1099-R data source which was never issued by the trustee. If you override directly to 8889 you cannot file electronically which NY requires. On the positive side support provided a work around and guided me through the process step by step, Actual content was provided for the explanation sheet. The process was not unlike those I experienced with a professional Tax repairer when the program they were using needed to be coaxed. Still, I am not a believer in filing forms not required by the IRS. I was so uncomfortable with the filing I elected to purchase the audit protection. Turbo tax should address the programming to address this issue. Fortunately the distribution is a one time deal.
What's great about it: Excellent support
What's not so great: Entry of IRA to HSA too rigid, Electronic filing blocked with Overide

TurboTax Deluxe 2013 Review
on April 5, 2014
Posted by: HEugene7441
TurboTax is an excellent personal tax preparation tool. Its best features are automatic rollover of last year's entries, automatic downloading of bank and brokerage data, and electronic filing of Federal and state returns. I would strongly recommend TurboTax for anyone with a large number of brokerage transactions.
What's great about it: Preloaded Info from last year, Direct downloads from banks & brokers
What's not so great: Difficulty in recording expired covered option acquisition costs/dates. Couldn't download 1099R info from Vanguard.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)
