Easier to follow this year.

I've used TurboTax for years and the first time compared it to a professional and the refund was almost the same. It seemed easier to use this year but maybe I'm just getting used to it.

First year finding a glitch
on March 27, 2016
Posted by: Funlovr
EasyStep froze up twice while calculating. It added the exact amount of my part-time job to an IRA contribution: $4116. This was after the second freeze-up. I went over each form until I found the error in IRA contributions. Other than that, I recommend TurboTax to everyone!
What's great about it: Easy and straightforward - used it for years
What's not so great: Had my first EasyStep error this year
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Anyone Can Do It!

I have been using TurboTax from the first day it came out. I am an expert at it. What makes it great is the ease of teaching someone else how to use the program and seeing their surprise when they realize they just finished their own taxes. Almost every person I convince to use the program comes back and tells me it was so easy. They will clearly be users who will return to the program for their taxes next year and every year thereafter.
What's great about it: Asks all the pertinent questions needed to complete your taxes easily and accurately.
What's not so great: Somewhat difficult to find a specific form to review while going through the data entry process.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion), I bought or sold investments

Gets easier every year
on March 28, 2016

I was quite pleased with this year's edition of T-Tax. I've used this since 1999, and find it is well improved and easy to navigate over all previous versions. Didn't need the movie accountants yapping at you like they used to ply. Lightens the computer load quite a bit.
Only one oddity I found: I walked through all of the various forms/deduction sections, etc. where most didn't apply to me but at least one of the steps seemed to trigger filling out an unnessary form that kind of hung me up at the end. Seems like entering a "0" in a money box trying to get through something you don't do jumps the assumption that you need that form and all that's implied. I got stuck in something that seems to insist I am operating a business forcing be to fill out a form indicating no income, no employees, no pilot area, etc.. I went back into those parts of the return and dumped all the zeros I could find but that didn't really solve the problem. I couldn't figure out how to back that one out at the final review so I filed it stet. Hope I didn't burn myself with this quirk. Suggested improvement is a check box within each special section that says "This doesn't seem to apply to me" to drop that from your progression.
Other than that, the ease of working through gave me confidence the numbers from Quicken were going to end up in the right boxes. Comparison to the prior year is also a confidence builder I really appreciate.
Final suggestion: to make paying the taxes real, interpret the amount of taxes one pays in terms of rockets purchased or highway road miles repaved on the Federal side and either textbooks upgraded, school lunches served or Legislator Limos bought on the State side...

What's great about it: Interface very workable. Fewer rounds of software updates this year
What's not so great: checking through some of the steps seems to trigger forms I ultimately didn't need
