Posted by: mjcucch
My employer does not contribute to my HSA and Tubro Tax seemed to be all about my employer's contibutions and not mine. But then again on my W2 is shows my contirbution as my employer's contribution. The is confusing....but it all worked out as I moved through turbo tax.
What's great about it: Very detialed in questions asked
What's not so great: Little confused in the HSA section

I think that in years past the efile for a state submission was included when you purchased TurboTax. I think that was great and miss it. It should be included.
What's great about it: very comprehensive
What's not so great: having to pay to efile state
Pros: I bought or sold investments

For anyone who has multiple 1099-INT or DIV forms, the entry in Turbo Tax is rather unhelpful. Every time a financial instrument is sold and a new one purchased, the old one stays in the same place and the new ones go to the bottom of the list. When there are several entries, from separate companies, it makes the entry process too cumbersome. There needs to be a way to place the entries in the order I want, rather than by date. If I have a 30 year bond, it will always be at the top, rather than in the order on my broker statement. Would be nice to "click and drag" to the order I need. The rest of the program is great and I will stay with it.
What's great about it: Accurate to the law, as I would expect.
What's not so great: 1099 forms need help
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments

I was irritated to have to update again on the final click to file it sent me back thru several more steps and clicking thru again. it seems the program should know where it left off during update so you don't need to click through again. after writing this review it was not obvious that I missed the star rating step... the print was too fine at the top and could not see the submit button.. maybe the print should flash or the font bigger..
What's great about it: i like the step by step walk thru
What's not so great: Difficulty starting off where i left off.

No prompt to consider contributing to Roth IRA
on April 6, 2014
Posted by: Nellie28
Using TurboTax Deluxe 2013. Married filing jointly. The past several years, my spouse and I have been slightly over the maximum AGI level to be eligible to make Roth IRA contributions. But it seems those limits went up $5,000 this year (with the phaseout now between $178,000 and $188,000), and we were eligible to make a partial contribution.
It sure would have been nice for TurboTax to have told us so. It was only due a fluke while reviewing our draft return that I thought to research the limits for this year, and discovered that -- unlike the past several years -- we likely should be able to make a 2014 contribution for tax year 2013.
But even after I figured that out on my own, it took far too much work with the step-by-step interview process to determine how much we could contribute. (Eventually I went into the Forms view and blundered around until I found the calculations based on our precise AGI within the phaseout range.)
Pretty disappointing.
What's not so great: No prompt to consider contributing to Roth IRA
