Good and bad
on April 15, 2016
Posted by: MarkfromWTNJ
Very helpful and intuitive.
Still trying to scam users...I paid extra for an additional state (almost as expensive as the federal return) and they tried to charge me to file electronically. Not if I'm paying for the state!!! More TurboTax games.
What's great about it: Information taken from previous returns was flawless
What's not so great: Charged for submitting extra state electronically when I already paid for the state

2015 Taxes
on April 15, 2016
Posted by: SydW
I found it difficult to do what if calculations; I found it difficult to navigate inputting of foreign tax information; I did not find the help sections too helpful; could not find a hot line phone # to call someone; and on the help exchange many of my questions were there unanswered. I have been using turbo for several years now, I am a retired CPA tax accountant, so perhaps I am overly critical but I did find this year the process to be more difficult. Particularly in correcting errors found on Form 1116 and AMT.
What's great about it: Thorough in questions.
What's not so great: Hard to do what if calculations; difficult to correct errors ( in particular foreign tax credit)

My Private CPA
on April 15, 2016
Posted by: MyDadsSon
Have been using TurboTax since before it was called TurboTax....since the 1990's. It has never failed me, even if an occassional IRS Audit. Easy and simple to use.
What's great about it: Consistency, understandable layman questions. Big view map navigation format helps avoid getting lost .
What's not so great: Price relatively higher than other "equivalent" tax software.
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Better and Better Every Year

There seemed to be a limit to the number of Form 8949 transactions that TurboTax would accept. This was not clear in the instructions. In fact, in my opinion, the instructions were a little misleading. Other than this quirk, I think the software is great.
What's great about it: Continuity of carry-forwards from year to year is great
What's not so great: Entering a large number of Form 8949 transactions is horrible
Pros: I bought or sold investments
