Beats pencil and paper, but can still be improved
on March 20, 2016
Posted by: Swegnson
I've been a Turbo Tax user for a number of years, and am especially appreciative of how Turbo Tax retains necessary data from year to year and pre-populates forms with imported data. I like being able to switch from interview mode to forms mode at will. My complaints are that some less common situations aren't handled as well and never seem to be addressed. These include in particular the areas of educational expenses and estimated taxes. This year even the suggestion feature was down whenever I wanted to comment. So I'll likely keep using TT, but I would really like to see some capability improvements.
What's great about it: imports of prior years data and investment info
What's not so great: doesn't always handle less common situations or states as well

Federal Better than State
on March 20, 2016
Posted by: JB173
State return program was much less helpful and expected me to know a lot of the jargon and rules for my state. Example: any adjustments to enter?
What's great about it: Step by step with detailed help
What's not so great: State program much less helpful, too expensive relative to alternative
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Return Process
on March 20, 2016
Posted by: GZalewski
I've used Turbo Tax for many years now and this is the first year I had these issues. The software would get hung up on calculations and I would be forced to restart the application.
A bit frustrating, but overall, I would still recommend Turbo Tax and will continue to use the product.
What's great about it: Easy to follow
What's not so great: Constant crash, required restart several times

Simple and straight forward
on March 20, 2016
Posted by: 1Jetsfan
Overall this year's version is easier to use than in past versions and seemed to more logically present the questions. While I have significant experience in filing taxes there is no reason to do anything other than step through the process as offered.
What's great about it: Program led you through all steps easily. I've been a customer for years and this was the best version by far.
What's not so great: Automatically printed out amount for next year's estimated taxes without asking for input
Pros: I bought or sold investments

This customer did not provide a text review.
What's not so great: No point in paying to e-file the state return but it does not guide through the process if not filing

It took a bit longer to get the platform started, as well as a few extra steps to get it completed. But in the interest of thoroughness and security, it was well worth it.
