Great product -- started great, just keeps getting better. A more than reasonable value!!
What's great about it: easy, intuitive, accurate
What's not so great: is there a built in calculator I don't find? not easy to bring up prior year return on that year's forms, if indeed you

The deduction tools that allow me to maintain a running log of donations throughout the year are great!
On the other hand a number of questions I had required a great deal of research. When I finally got the answer I thought that it could have been put in the quick question answer data base.
What's great about it: Many tools to help stay organized all year.
What's not so great: Some questions require a great deal of research

I like the way the interview starts out but there is a loss of flow when it comes to the end of each section...It doesn't carry on with the questions, after the section summary... You are left to figure a lot out for yourself. I have used other tax programs and the interview process fairly went down the 1040 form you were asking it to interview you for. Furthermore it fails when it gives good tax tips because it should at least have links for videos, or better yet just as I have seen in the past they gave you tax tips on video and made it appreciate the human concept...
Last point that fails is the ability to get a chat session initiated from the section you are negotiating thru... I got the site but there wasn't a good faq! Pain in the butt!
I have tried to spell this out so it is most logical and pragmatic, for future developments...If it works don't fix it, but when it's broke, sometimes it's easier to completely just rebuild the whole dam thing, than to pick apart one little piece at a time. I suggest you scrap this and keep about a 1/3 of it and get it redeveloped so the flow makes it easy for me!
What's great about it: gets the interview questions must better than taxact or tacut
What's not so great: I had to do some long drawn research about record keeping in several things, incl charities..
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

Essential Tax Tool
on April 16, 2016
Posted by: indycitizen7
Although I am very thankful for the Turbo Tax expertise, the Deluxe version seemed a bit light on features than I remember from past filings. Perhaps my situation is more complex this year but IMO, it seems like the product has been split into too many different versions. Next year Home and Business may be the best option. Turbo Tax still is the top dog in this industry...couldn't do it without your help.
What's great about it: Efficient, easy to follow instructions, very accurate
What's not so great: Deluxe felt like Basic to me,

Mostly User Friendly Even for Novice Users

Doing taxes for a WIDOW of a fire fighter, the question on the 1099R for her widow's pension is confusing to answer. Were YOU Employed as a Public Safety Officer? Was the pension received from YOUR employment as a police or fire fighter? (the answers here would be NO)
Yes - this money came from employment as a public safety officer No - this money didn't come from employment as a PSO.
The answer here would be YES (from her husband's)
What's great about it: Little tax experience needed. Walks you through the whole process or allows you to enter your info yourself.
What's not so great: Under Wages & Income 1099R Question is Confusing
