For example, I somehow duplicated my student dependent in the education section. I did not see it until it ran my errors but it did not show point out I duplicated only that i had missing info. Only that i was missing info. I had to go all the way back to the beginning to discover the error on my own. To top it off, this was on a worksheet that I did not need since I did not qualify for the deduction anyway. Why can't I just delete the worksheet?
What's great about it: fairly quick and easy
What's not so great: Hard to correct errors without going all the way back to solve the problem.

my fed and va state 2013 income tax returns
on April 10, 2014
Posted by: annan03
In doing the 2013 VA state tax income return, I found out that Turbo Tax could not let me know that I can maximize my deduction on my 3 prepaid VPEP accounts because the maximized deduction would give me a larger refund on state. My last year 2012 VA state income tax filing, I did not know that entitlement, I just deducted $2000.o00 for each of my prepaid VPEP account, while this year some thing, not from Turbo Tax, got me to call Dept of Tax of VA and I found that that I am entitled to file deduction of $12,000.00 for the 3 prepaid VPEP which got me a large VA state refund for 2013.
What's great about it: very thorough
What's not so great: deduction of prepaid VPEP

Had a difficult return this year with capital gains from inherited home sale. Turbo Tax helped me avoid hiring a CPA.
What's great about it: Worked very well when stopping for a long while and coming back to continue.

Adapt TurboTax for Returns of Deceased
on April 10, 2014
Posted by: DIYTaxman1343
I filled out my mother's final tax return. [Apparently, 'death AND taxes' is quite literal.] TurboTax did ask for and account for this situation, but I found myself having to reinterpret questions which were directed in the second person #you# and answer a lot of questions which would have been irrelevant for anyone dead. Fortunately, I've done a lot of my grieving already, but this would have been very vexing and aggravating for someone still struggling. Other small things were omitted, like, where do I sign the returns...as the preparer? in the self-prepared section? Its a special case, I realize, but one that will eventually catch up to us all. On a slow day, perhaps you can spare a programmer to walk through the process in my shoes. Thanks.
What's great about it: Responsible and Accurate
What's not so great: Had to Reinterpret Statements
